How to Comment on a Document in CrewBox

Ask questions and leave notes directly on the plan, permit, or contract — the discussion stays with the file forever.

Steps

  1. Open the project → Documents tab → tap the document. It opens in the in-app viewer.
  2. Tap the Comments button in the viewer's action bar (it shows the existing comment count).
  3. The comments panel slides up — drag it between peek height (document still visible) and full height (reading a long thread).
  4. Type your comment. @mention a teammate to notify them (how mentions work).
  5. Send. Your comment is pinned to this exact document.
Open document with an action menu showing Comments, Details, Print, and more

Open a document and tap Comments in its action menu to discuss it with the crew.

What Document Comments Are For

  • Revision callouts: "@Mike — Revision B changes the footing detail, page 4."
  • Expiry and status notes: "Permit expires end of month — inspection must happen before the 28th."
  • Clarifications: questions on a contract clause or spec line, answered where the next person will look.

The document's row in the Documents tab shows its comment count, so a discussed file is visible at a glance.

Editing, Deleting, Contact

Same rules as everywhere in CrewBox: edit your own (labeled "edited"), owner/manager moderation on delete, and long-press any commenter's avatar for call / SMS / email.

Offline

Comments written offline queue on the device and post automatically on reconnect.
