Commenting
Commenting
Learn how to use commenting to leave actionable feedback in Fable.
There are two ways to create comments on your projects:
1 Use the Comment Tool
You can activate the Comment tool on the toolbar or select C. Next, click anywhere on the canvas, add text, and click Return/Enter.
Your comments will be linked to the chosen location and the exact frame where you've paused on the timeline.
2 Use the Comment Sidebar
Open the sidebar and leave a comment in the text field.
Sidebar settings default to creating general comments, which are not linked to time or position. Click the timestamp checkbox beneath the text window to include context.
Replies & Threads
Use Replies to start conversation threads with your teammates on specific comments. To leave a reply:
Find the comment you're replying to on the Comment Sidebar.
Type in the "Reply..." input underneath the comment.
Press
Return/Enteror click the "Send" button.
Notifications
Fable notifies you of comment activity through in-product and email alerts. Full-access and editor members get notifications for new comments. When you leave a reply, anyone on that specific thread will be notified.
Permissions & Access
Grant "Can Collaborate" permissions to allow someone to leave comments on a project.
The invitee will get an email notification about being added as a collaborator. If they're not already a member or guest in your workspace, they must accept the invite via email before accessing the project to leave comments.

Deleting comments
Only comment authors and full-access members can delete. Deleting a comment also deletes its replies. Click the "..." menu on the Comment Sidebar to delete.
Resolving comments
To help keep your collaboration space tidy, there are two comment sections in the sidebar: Active and Resolved.
Click the checkmark icon to the right of a comment to resolve or un-resolve it.
