App workflow
Comments and team context
Use comments to keep decisions, observations, follow-ups, and record references close to the plant, explant, SOP, recipe, or task where the work happened.
@nameMention teammates
Notify a workspace member when a record needs review, follow-up, or a decision.
/Open commands
Insert teammate mentions, GIFs, emoji, and record references without leaving the composer.
#plant:Reference records
Link plants, explants, SOPs, media recipes, and tasks so context stays attached to the thread.
ReplyKeep threads tidy
Reply under a comment when the discussion belongs to one decision or observation.
Everyday use
How comments should work in the lab
Pin the comment that matters most
Use pinning for the current decision, latest observation, or blocker. Only one pinned comment appears at the top of a record thread.
Turn a comment into a task
Convert follow-up notes into scheduled work when a comment becomes something the lab needs to do.
React without adding noise
Use reactions for quick acknowledgements, confirmations, or lightweight status checks.
Privacy and visibility
Comments are workspace context. Mention only the teammates who need the update, keep sensitive lab details on the record they belong to, and use replies when a discussion is specific to one observation.
