Easily add comments when you’re building a canvas app in Power Apps Studio. Use comments to help your team review the app and provide feedback, or provide additional information on implementation details in your app. To allow other makers to add comments, make sure to share the app with them.

You can add comments to different components or pages.

Use @mention in comments to tag someone for feedback

If you tag a maker that doesn’t have access to your app, then you’ll be prompted to share the app with them.

When someone tags you in a comment, you'll receive an email that lets you know which app you're tagged in and the person who tagged you. It also includes the comment text and a direct link to that comment.
