A comment is a note that users can add to a field for additional context or information. Users with View permissions can check and enter comments in fields using the dedicated action.
- You can add multiple comments, but it's important to know that comments cannot be deleted or edited once added.
- When exporting study data in CSV or Excel formats, comments are included in a separate field.
