The short version

Open a comment's controls, choose `Mark for action`, then use `Assigned to` to choose who should handle it. Select `Mark as done` when the work is complete.

When feedback needs action, turn the comment into a task and assign it to a specific teammate. This works on comments wherever you leave them, on a design or a file.

Assign a comment

  1. Mark it for action. Open the comment controls and choose Mark for action. This makes the comment a task and reveals Assigned to.
  2. Assign it. Open Assigned to and choose the teammate who should handle it. It is set to anyone until you pick someone. You can assign people you share the project with.
  3. Track and complete it. The task appears in the Hub’s Action items. The person you assign is notified; choose Mark as done when the work is complete.
Good to know

Assigning works on both plain comments and pinned comments. To see every task for a project in one place, see How do I track action items in a Hub?. To leave the comment in the first place, see How do I comment on a design in Canvas?.
