Comments, replies and formatting

Add a comment

Open an issue and show the comments sidebar. Write your comment, then press Enter to send it. Use Shift + Enter to insert a line break instead.

Comments stay attached to the issue, giving future readers the discussion and decisions they need without searching another tool.

Reply in a thread

Open a comment thread to reply to a specific comment. Replies remain grouped beneath the original comment, while the issue sidebar shows how many replies the thread contains.

Use a thread for a focused question or decision. Start a new top-level comment when the subject is separate and should remain visible in the main discussion.

Edit or delete your comment

Open the options menu on one of your comments to edit or delete it.

Edited comments are marked as modified. When you delete a comment, Limin leaves a placeholder for others currently viewing the discussion so replies and the surrounding conversation retain their context.

Only the author of a comment can edit or delete it.

Format descriptions, comments and resolution notes

The same editor is available for issue descriptions, comments and resolution notes. It supports:

• Headings.
• Bold, italic and strikethrough text.
• Bulleted and numbered lists.
• Inline code and code blocks.
• Links.
• Block quotes.

Select text to open the formatting controls. You can also type familiar Markdown patterns at the beginning of a line, such as - for a list.

Image attachments are available in issue descriptions and resolution notes. Comments and replies currently support text formatting and issue mentions, but not image uploads. See Image attachments for supported formats and controls.

Mention another issue

Type @ at the start of a text block or after a space to search for an issue. Choose a result to insert a compact issue mention.

Issue mentions can be used in descriptions, comments and resolution notes. Selecting the mention opens the referenced issue, which makes it useful when explaining related work without creating a formal blocking relationship.

Use a blocking relationship when one issue actually prevents another from progressing instead of just referencing it.
