Add comments to pages in design studio (preview)

[This topic is prerelease documentation and is subject to change.]

You can collaborate and communicate while building Power Pages sites in design studio by using comments. Comments help your team review the changes, provide feedback, and provide additional information on site customization.

Important

• This is a preview feature.
• Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.

Tag someone in a comment

You can tag makers in a comment by using @ followed by their name.

If you tag a maker who doesn't have access to your app, you're prompted to grant the maker site edit permission.

When someone tags you in a comment, you receive an email. The email includes the name of the person who tagged you, which page you're tagged in, the comment text, and a direct link to the comment.

Moving comments between environments

Comments in Power Pages sites can't be exported or imported as solution components because they contain user collaboration data. However, you can export the Comment table to Excel and then import the Excel file into your environment. More information: Export data

Known limitations

• When new comments are added to a page in design studio after sync, they are saved as empty comments. To avoid this, reload the design studio and then add the comment.
