Change the text, then choose Save. Choose Cancel or press Esc in the editing field to leave the message unchanged. The same submission shortcut saves an edited message.

Mark a thread as resolved

1. Open More actions in the expanded card’s header.
2. Choose Resolve.

The thread remains stored and is labelled Resolved. If the panel is filtered to Open, it disappears from that view; choose All or Resolved to find it again.

Reopen a thread

In a resolved card, choose More actions → Reopen. It becomes open again, and its Reply field returns. Reopen a resolved thread when you need to add another reply.

Delete a reply or a whole thread

• In a reply’s Reply actions, Delete removes that reply only.
• In the card header’s More actions, Delete removes the entire thread, including its replies.

After deleting a whole thread, the app shows Comment deleted with Undo. Use that notification action to restore the thread if the removal was accidental. This is separate from the editor toolbar’s Undo for script edits.

Deleting comments does not delete the script text they refer to. Use Resolve when you want to keep a completed note available for later review.
