Comments

Discuss places and features with map comments. Add photos, mention people, and reply to or resolve threads.

Leave a comment at a place on a Felt map to start a discussion with the people you're working with. Click Comment in the toolbar at the top right, click the map, and enter your comment.

Add a comment

Comments save the location and map view where you post them. Log in to Felt to add one.

1. Click Comment in the toolbar, or press C.

2. Click the place on the map where the comment belongs.

3. Enter your comment in the Type a comment… box.

4. Optional: Enter @ to mention someone.

5. Press Enter to post it.

Add photos to a comment

Attaching photos to a Felt comment needs a seat. Commenting without photos doesn't.

1. Start a comment. See Add a comment.

2. In the comment box, click Add images and choose the photos.

Comment on a feature

Tag a feature to link it to a Felt comment. When you export comments, the file includes the tagged feature's data.

1. Start a comment near the feature. See Add a comment.

2. In the comment box, click Tag feature.

3. Select the feature from the list of nearby features. The feature's name appears as a tag on the comment.

You can also start a comment from a feature: click the feature, open the ··· menu in its popup, and click Add comment. In the table, right-click a feature's row and click Add a comment.

Let others comment

Invited people with View access or more can comment for free. Commenting through a public link needs public link access set to View and comment, and a free Felt account. A public View link doesn't allow comments. See Seats and viewers.

• To let specific people comment, invite them to the map with View, Contribute, or Edit access. See Invite people by email.

• To let anyone with the link comment, set the map's public link access to View and comment. See Set public link access.

People opening a View and comment link without logging in can see the map but can't post. The comments list shows An account is required to leave comments and a Sign up button.

Mention someone in a comment

When you mention someone in a Felt comment, Felt emails them the comment and a link to it on the map.

1. In the comment box, enter @.

2. Enter part of the person's name or email address.

3. Select the person from the list.

The list shows people with Felt accounts who are invited to the map or are members of your workspaces. If you have Edit access and mention someone who can't open the map yet, Felt invites them with View access.

Reply to, resolve, and find comments

• Reply: open a comment and enter your reply in the Reply… box.
