Leaving Comments and Mentioning Teammates

Every update card on the DSM Board has a comment thread. Use it to ask questions, give feedback, or flag something directly on a team member's update — without leaving Strova or jumping to another tool.

Leaving a Comment

1. Find the update card you want to comment on.
2. Click Comment or the thread icon on the card.
3. Type your message in the text field.
4. Press Enter or click Post.

Your comment appears in the thread immediately and the update author receives a notification.

@Mentioning Teammates

To notify a specific person, type @ followed by their name in your comment. A dropdown will appear with matching team members — select the person you want to mention.

The mentioned person receives:

• An in-app notification immediately
• An email notification if they have email enabled for mentions (configurable in notification settings)

You can @mention anyone in the org, not just members of the current team.

Replying to Comments

Click Reply under any comment to start a nested thread. Replies keep related discussions organized under the original comment.

Who Can Comment?

• Members, Team Leads, Admins, Owners can all leave comments and replies
• Readonly members (Business plan) can view threads but cannot comment

Notifications for Your Updates

When someone comments on your update or @mentions you:

• You receive an in-app notification (bell icon)
• Email notification is sent if enabled in your notification preferences

AI-Generated Comments

In some cases, Strova's AI may automatically post a comment in a thread to nudge a stalled discussion or flag a pattern. These are marked with an AI badge so you can distinguish them from team member comments.
