The updates section allows you and your team to communicate, social media style, inside an item, keeping all the conversations about a specific task or project in the same place and in context. There are so many cool things you can do with this section! Let's have a look 👀

@mentioning someone on your team

If you want to communicate with your team members and make sure they are getting a notification about your update, make sure to @mention them!

You can also @mention everyone who is subscribed to this board, or everyone on your account.

 Note: On Shareable boards, this mention will also include your guests, making it easier to communicate with all of them at once.

Pinning important updates

If you need to keep one particular update at the top of your updates feed, all you need to do is pin it to the top! Once you pin the update, it will stay there, even as your team continues to add more updates to that feed. 

Bookmark a post

It's like an old school thumbtack board, bookmarking an important post to refer to frequently! Or think of it as a "favorite post." Once you bookmark your post, you can find it in your Inbox.
