Enter Comments

You can enter comments on a cell in a form.

Comments can be used to provide qualitative information about the data in a cell, for example, to describe the quality of the data or to explain the reasons behind the data.

A comment can be created, viewed, and edited by anyone authorized to view or edit the data shown in a cell. If a comment is entered and the data in the cell is used in another form, the comment is also shown in that form. In addition, only one comment can be entered on a cell.

To enter a comment, right-click on a cell and select Comment.... You can enter up to 10,000 characters.

Once a comment is entered on a cell, a triangle is displayed in gray on the top-right corner of the cell. When you hover your cursor over the cell, the comment popover appears. The popover shows the comment, who created the comment, and when they created the comment.

You can edit a comment as follows:

Left-click on the comment in the comment popover.
Right-click on the cell with the comment and select Comment....

When you create or edit a comment, the triangle is displayed in blue until you save your changes. Changes to a comment are kept until you save the form, which also saves the comment, or you reload the form and then the changes are discarded.

You can also delete a comment. When you delete a comment, the triangle is displayed in blue until you save the form. Once you save the form, the triangle is no longer displayed. If you reload the form without saving it first, the comment is not deleted.
