# Comments

Keep collaboration in context with embedded comments in Quip. Comments change color after you read them so you can focus on the content that still needs your attention.

You can comment on specific parts of a document or participate in the document conversation.

## Comments

You can comment on text, images, and cells in Quip by clicking the Comment icon ![Quip comment icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-anywhere_app-264-0-0-production-enus/c0406050-7b26-469a-9dc5-10d6c0c9c576/anywhere_app/images/quip_comment_inline_icon_01.PNG).

When you leave a comment, the person who authored the content and anyone you @mention gets a notification.

## Conversation

Every document and spreadsheet has a conversation where you and your teammates can send messages about document-level issues. By default, the conversation is displayed on the right side of the document. Only users with comments access and above can see the conversation pane.

The conversation contains:

- Any messages people post to the conversation.
- A history of every edit made to the document.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-anywhere_app-264-0-0-production-enus/c0406050-7b26-469a-9dc5-10d6c0c9c576/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note Deleted sections still appear in the conversation.
- A history of every comment made on the document.
- A record of when people become a member of the document.

## Broadcasting Comments and Messages

To send a notification to every member of a document, you can include @everyone in a comment or message. If you @mention everyone when you edit a comment or message, Quip doesn’t send a notification.
