Articles on: For room visitors

Leaving comments

You can leave comments on any section of a Katalyz room — it's the fastest way to ask questions, flag concerns, or confirm decisions without writing an email.

Comments attach to the section, not the widget. You can't drop a comment on a specific widget (text, pricing, document, etc.) — you link it to the section that contains those widgets.

How to comment

Open the Comments panel

Click the Comments button in the top bar of the room (between the bell and Share). The panel lists the room's conversations; pick one, or start a new one.

Room top bar with the Comments button, and the panel open with the composer

Say who it's for

Fill the To: row — start typing a name and pick the sender or a teammate. Add a Subject if you like (it's optional).

Link it to a section

Click Link a section in the composer toolbar. The button turns into Click a section…: hover the part of the room you're asking about — it highlights — and click it. Press Esc to cancel. Your comment then appears as a small pill in that section's right margin, so everyone sees what it refers to. Click any pill to open its thread.

Type your comment

Write what you want to say in Write a message.... Keep it specific to the section you linked — threaded comments are easiest to follow when each focuses on one topic.

Mention someone

Type @ and start typing a name to tag someone — they'll get a notification. You can mention:

Anyone else in the room (members of the sender's team, or other visitors)
Anyone you've invited to the room yourself

Post it

Press Enter (or click the send button). Your comment appears immediately. Shift+Enter adds a line break.

If you're asked to log in first

If you aren't signed in yet, the composer invites you to sign in before you can post. Enter the email address the room was shared with and you're back in the panel with your draft ready. See Opening your Katalyz link.

Replying

Open a thread and type in Write a reply.... Replies follow the parent comment in the thread.

Editing or deleting your comments

Hover a comment you authored. You can:

Edit — update the text
Delete — remove entirely

You can only edit/delete comments you authored. Even the sender can't edit your comments (fair is fair).

Who sees your comments

By default, everyone with access to this room sees comments — the sender, their team, and any other invitees (buyers or colleagues).

To discuss something with specific people only, put just those people in the To: row and click Make private before sending. The toggle reads Private and a hint confirms who will see it (Only Sarah, Only Sarah and Tom…). Nobody else in the room sees that message.

Getting notifications on replies

When you comment, you're automatically subscribed to the thread. You'll get email notifications for replies (unless you turned them off). While you're in the room, new replies also appear as a toast under the top bar and light up the badge on the Comments button.
