Internal Comments for Admins

We’ve added a new way to collaborate in Knowly – right where the work happens.

You can now add internal comments directly on slides, messages, and other elements in your learning journeys. Perfect for capturing thoughts in the moment, giving feedback, or working together as a team.

This makes it possible to:

  • Capture thoughts right where they occur
  • Mention colleagues with @name (they’ll get an email with a direct link)
  • Keep feedback and ideas in context — no more separate to-do lists or screenshots

Comments can be added at multiple levels, including entire learning journeys, individual slides, and highlighted text. Use the comment overview to navigate quickly and stay on top of what needs to be done. Internal comments are only visible to admins.

Available on: Professional plans and above
