Comments let your team discuss a [published dashboard][ref-dashboards] on the
dashboard itself. Start a thread about the whole dashboard or about one chart.
Other people can reply to it, react to it, and resolve it when the question is
answered. Mention a teammate with `@` to send them a notification. Everyone
who wrote in a thread gets a notification when someone replies to it.

threads stay on the dashboard and you can still read them. If the chart comes
back to the dashboard, its threads attach to it again.

## Comments on a data point

A thread can also be about one data point on a chart, for example one bar or one
point on a line. Click the data point and choose **Comment on this point**. If
the chart supports drill-down, the same menu also has **Drill down**. A popover
opens next to the data point. It shows the data point and its value, and the box
reads **Start a thread on this point…**.

{/* TODO: screenshot — a bar chart with a pin above one bar and the point popover open */}

A data point with threads shows a pin above it. The pin shows the number of open
threads. A pin with only resolved threads shows a check mark. Hover the pin to
see how many threads are open and resolved, and click it to open the popover
with all threads on that data point. To see the threads in the panel, click
**Open in comments panel** in the popover.

In the panel, a thread about a data point shows the data point under the chart's
name. Click it to show the data point on the chart.

The data point is identified by its measure and its dimension values, not by its
position. When the chart changes, Cube finds the data point again:

- If the value changed since the thread was started, the thread shows both
values, for example **12,480 (as seen on Oct 11, 2026)** and **14,020 (now)**.
- If the data point is not on the chart, for example because a filter removed
it, the pin is not shown. In the panel, the data point is gray and shows the
value from when the thread was started. When the data point comes back, the
pin comes back too.
- A change of time grain, for example from month to week, makes a different
data point. Threads on the old data point show as not on the chart.

Comments on a data point are not available on **Table**, **KPI**, **HTML**,
**Map**, **Sankey**, and **Funnel** charts. On these charts, comment on the whole
chart instead. On a **Boxplot** chart, you can comment only on the outlier points.
