# Comments

Commenting can be a great way to remove ambiguity at an early stage of your project. Annotators can ask questions about edge cases or reviewers can clarify what changes are needed.

To enter the comment mode, click on the **Comment** icon <img src="/files/-MG6gmntkfiVN1dIrYdm" alt="" data-size="line"> in the toolbar.&#x20;

### Leave a comment

1. While you are in the comment mode, click anywhere in the image where you want to leave a comment
2. Enter texts and choose **Send**.

#### Comment status

* In the Project view, you can see a total number of Unresolved comments for eacn image.&#x20;

If you select **Resolved**, the comment becomes **Resolved**.

### Exit from the comment mode

Once the original issue is closed, for instance, an annotator fixed the issue with annotation, it is a good practice to resolve the comment.

In this way, you can always track only Unresolved comments.
