# Comments

> Enable comments on feature detail pages — create, like, and delete for signed-in users.

Comments let users discuss feature requests in detail. They appear on the **feature detail page only** — not on the board list (though the board may show a comment count icon when comments exist).

## Enable comments

The **Comments** toggle lives in project settings under [Controls](/3.configure/3.5-controls):

> When disabled, visitors cannot post new comments on feature card detail pages. Existing comments remain visible.

| Setting      | New comments                | Existing comments |
| ------------ | --------------------------- | ----------------- |
| ON (default) | Allowed for signed-in users | Visible           |
| OFF          | Compose box hidden          | Still visible     |

## Where comments appear

Open any feature card to see the **Comments** section below the description and vote controls.

| Element             | Label                         |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Section heading     | Comments                      |
| Compose placeholder | Write a comment...            |
| Submit button       | Comment                       |
| Empty state         | No comments yet               |
| Like                | Like comment / Unlike comment |
| Delete              | Delete comment (trash icon)   |

## Who can comment

* **Signed-in visitors** can create, like, and delete their own comments
* **Project owner** can delete any comment
* **Unsigned visitors** see a sign-in prompt when trying to comment

Comments must be 1–2000 characters.

## Pending features

Non-owners cannot comment on **Pending** features. If a visitor tries, they receive **"Cannot comment on pending cards"**. As the owner, you can still comment on pending features from the dashboard.
