# Add a comment on a frame or range

Press **C** to comment on the frame you're looking at, or select a range on the timeline to comment on several frames. The comment keeps its frame, so anyone who reads it can jump to that moment. The interface also calls comments "notes", as in the **Notes** panel.

::: info Before you start

* **Who:** Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, Contributors, and Reviewers. Viewers get no comment box, and **C** shows "You can't comment on this review". Guests can comment when the share link has **Annotate** on; see [Comment, draw and set status as a guest](/sharing/what-guests-can-do).
* **Where:** the web app. The desktop app has its own Comments panel, but **Copy Link** is web only.
* **You need:** a video or audio item open in the player. A still image has no frame, so a comment on it applies to the whole image.

## Comment on a frame

1. Pause on the frame you want to comment on.
2. Press **C**. The comment box opens, with the frame number in a banner above it.
3. Type your comment in the box that says **Add a comment...** Press **Shift+Enter** for a new line.
4. To mention someone, type **@** and the start of a name, then choose the person or team from the list.
5. To tag the comment, type **#** and choose a tag from the list.
6. Press **Enter**, or select **Comment**.

People can appear by email address in mention suggestions. If a name doesn't appear, search by that person's email address.

The comment appears in the **Notes** panel. You can also open the comment box with **Notes** on the right edge, or **Add comment (C)** when the panel is closed. To comment on the whole item, select the trash icon (**Remove frame range**) on the banner. It then reads **Clip Comment**; select **Frame Comment** to bring the frame back.

**@** lists people in your project and organization, and the teams on the project. Whether a mention also sends an email depends on how your revis.io is set up, so don't rely on it for urgent feedback. **#** lists your project's tags: Animation, Compositing, Lighting, FX, Layout, Modeling, Rigging, and Texturing, unless your organization or project replaced them.

## Comment on a frame range

1. Turn on **Select range**, in the controls under the timeline.
2. Drag across the timeline from the first frame to the last. The range appears in the banner above the comment box, and a menu opens.
3. Choose **Create Range Comment**.
4. Type your comment and press **Enter**.

To change the range before you post, drag or type in the start and end numbers on the banner.

## Copy a link to a comment

1. Point to the comment and select **More**, the three dots.
2. Choose **Copy Link**.
3. Paste the link where you want to share it.

::: warning

* The link opens the item at the comment's frame, but the **Notes** panel can stay closed. Tell people to open **Notes**.
* revis.io shows no message when you copy, so paste the link to check it.
* Someone outside the project gets the sign-in page unless they already opened the review's share link in that browser. On a share link with a password or email check, the link opens the review but not the comment.

## If a comment doesn't save

revis.io shows **Couldn't save your comment**. If the comment box is empty, your text goes back into it. Otherwise the comment stays in the list marked **Not saved**: select **Retry** to send it again, or **Discard** to remove it. Reloading the page loses an unsaved comment.
