New commenting experiences added to iterations
To give you a consistent experience throughout the application, we have added the new commenting experience to iterations. For information, see the Update section overview.
Access to the legacy commenting area has been removed
We have removed the “New commenting” toggle in the Updates area for projects, tasks, issues, and documents. The new commenting is now the default and only option for these objects. With this change, you are no longer able to revert back to the legacy commenting experience. Additionally, we have removed the “Show percent complete on update status” setting on a user’s profile.
For more information, see New commenting experience.
New commenting stream now available in quick actions for new Home widgets
We have now added the new commenting functionality to the Add new update quick action button in the My Work, My Projects, My Tasks, and My Issues widgets in new Home.
Additional commenter information available in the new commenting experience
We have made the following enhancements in the new commenting experience:
- You can click a commenter’s name to see their name, role, and email address in an information box. This information can help you identify the correct user, if you have more than one user with the same name. When you click the commenter’s name in the information box, their user profile opens.
- Your user name is highlighted in comments that you are tagged on, when you are mentioned in the comment text.
For more information, see Update work.

New update stream tab to capture both comments and system activity entries
To give you a chronologically cohesive view of both comments and system activity logs, we are introducing a third tab to the Updates area of all objects. The “All” tab captures both user comments and system activity comments in one cohesive stream.
The All tab is a view-only tab. You cannot reply to comments or tag other users in existing comments in the All tab. To reply to a specific comment, use the link from the All tab to the Comments tab.
For more information, see Updates section overview.
