Use comments in Slite to give feedback, ask questions, or start discussions — directly in context.
Whether you’re reviewing a full doc or just one sentence, comments help your team collaborate async without cluttering the content.
You can use comments in two ways:
Global comments — about the entire doc
Inline comments — attached to specific parts of the doc
