Considerations and caveats

Who can delete comments

• Authors of comments made on tasks.
• Workplace administrators.
• Space administrators, but only in their Space.

Permanent action

Deleting a comment also deletes any comments that were replies to it. It is not possible to restore deleted comments.  

Moderation

While comment moderators are not able to remove posted comments, rejecting a comment that is in moderation results in its deletion.

Notifications

Deleting a comment does not send a notification to the comment's author.

2. Scroll down to the comments section and find the comment.
3. Select Action button, and select Delete.
