We offer the ability to communicate and collaborate with colleagues from your organisation directly within the Mercell Bidding platform by adding comments on business opportunities. This provides a central and private space to discuss opportunities or just make notes for yourself. 

> ⚠️ Buyers **do not** see these comments. Comments are visible only to colleagues in your organisation with an **active subscription license**, including parent and child organisations you are part of.

The number of comments on an opportunity is displayed next to the comment icon.

When new comments are added or deleted on an opportunity you are [watching](https://mercell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MKB/pages/196727537696), you will receive notifications via email and in-platform so you can collaborate and keep up to date. To get these alerts, ensure the *Comment updates* option is enabled in your <u>**[Notification settings](https://support.mercell.com/space/MKB/195984720151/Account+notification+settings)**</u>.

## How to comment on a business opportunity

Commenting is simple:

1. Navigate to the desired business opportunity card within Explore or your Monitoring Inbox
2. Select the **speech bubble** **icon** to add a comment

> ℹ️ Once you add a comment to an opportunity, you will, by default, automatically start to receive email notifications related to it. You can, of course, turn this off by deselecting the **Start watching** icon at the top right-hand side of the opportunity page.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ **Good to know:** If you also **Save** the opportunity, the opportunity will then appear on your Home page **My Opportunities** section for easy access, and you can access all related comments directly from there without needing to search for the opportunity card or notifications.

Click into the comments to open the comment drawer. Here you will see all comments from the oldest to the latest. Any comments that you have not yet read will be highlighted and marked as new. 

To **edit **or **delete** your own comment, click the **3-dot menu** next to it.

- Edited comments are marked as **‘edited’**.
- Note that the time stamp will only show the time of creation of the comment and not the edit time.
