Project Discussions is a per-project threaded message board for your team. It’s where design feedback, decisions, client comms, and status updates live — all scoped to the specific project you’re working on.

Starting a Thread

1

Click Create Thread

From the Discussion tab, click Create Thread in the top right.
2

Write a title and body

Titles should be specific — “Homepage hero copy feedback” beats “Question”. The body supports rich text, code blocks, and inline images.
3

Pick a category

Categories are color-coded:
  • Design — visual, layout, UX feedback
  • Development — code, builds, deploys
  • Marketing — copy, campaigns, launches
  • Executive — decisions, strategy, approvals
4

Set priority

Low, medium, or high. Shows as a badge on the thread card.
5

Pick visibility

  • Public — anyone on your team can see it
  • SaaS only — visible to users with SaaS-level access
  • Account only — visible only to account-level members
6

Attach files (optional)

Drag in screenshots, PDFs, or mockups. Useful for design reviews.
7

Post

Thread appears at the top of the Discussion list and notifications fire to visible team members.

Replying to a Thread

Open any thread and use the reply box at the bottom. Replies are inline and threaded — no sub-sub-threads, just a clean conversation. Features in replies:
  • @mentions — type @ and pick a teammate. They get notified.
  • Reactions — thumbs up, heart, and more on any message
  • File attachments — same drag-and-drop as the original post
  • Code blocks — triple-backtick fenced blocks with language highlighting

Converting a Discussion to a Task

When a discussion becomes something actionable, you don’t lose the context — convert it straight into a PM task.
1

Open the thread

Navigate to the thread you want to convert.
2

Click Convert to Task

Button in the thread toolbar.
3

Pick a project and assignee

Modal shows your PM projects. Pick one and assign to a teammate.
4

Task is created

The new task links back to the original discussion so context stays intact.

Role Badges

Each team member’s name shows their role badge (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer) — helpful for clients scanning who said what.

Both use the same threading system, so you’ll feel at home in either.

Verifying a Thread Posted

1

Check the Discussion list

Your new thread appears at the top.
2

Have a teammate reply

Ask them to open the project and check the Discussion tab — they should see your post and be able to reply.
3

Confirm notifications fired

Mentioned teammates get a notification (bell icon, top right). Check that they received it.

Troubleshooting

Check the visibility setting. Account only hides the thread from SaaS-level members. SaaS only hides it from account-only members. Use Public for team-wide visibility.
Check the recipient’s notification preferences (Settings > Notifications). Project Discussion mentions are opt-in per user — if they muted project notifications, they won’t get pinged.
Check file size limit (varies by plan). Unsupported types — executables, archives above the cap — are rejected silently. Compress large images or link to external storage (Drive, Dropbox) for anything oversized.
Open the PM Projects item in the top nav (not Project > Tasks — that’s scoped to one project). The converted task lives wherever you selected in the convert modal.
Edits are allowed within a short window after posting. After that, post a follow-up reply instead — this preserves history for other team members who may have already read the original.
