# Comments & Stars ## Comments In just about every item uploaded into CollabMind there is an opportunity to have discussion about *that particular item*. This helps there not be any confusion in what image you're talking about, what drawing is being discussed, or perhaps helps keep track of questions specific to a change order. Because of the screen space available, the comments look different whether you're on your mobile or tablet device. **Mobile:**

On the mobile device, you'll see notice that there is a comment, click into it

You'll then see the chain of commentary, and you can always add to the conversation in the text box below. Hit the arrow to save.

**Tablet:**

On tablets, the commentary will be visible from the item's main screen. Continued discussion can be typed into the text box here (don't forget to hit send).

## Mark-Up directly on an item Commentary can also be made directly onto the item through the Mark-Up tool.

Click on Mark Up

You'll be taken into a menu that allows you many options - highlight, type text, draw, etc

Make your mark-up and hit "Save"

Your mark-up will now be attached to that image

## Star Ratings Another way to communicate likes and dislikes is to use the star ratings. The rating system is part of the Dream phase Schematic Designs, Inspiration Boards, Material Selection, and Moodboards. Any user can assign 1 through 5 stars to an item, based on how well it is liked.

Click into an item and rate it

Within that section, click on "sort" and then "rating". Hit Apply.

The images will be sorted from most to least stars

Sorting through the star ratings allows users to see what bubbles to the top as the most liked items being reviewed. *Tip: Half starts are given when two users give different ratings. The averge is taken - because sometimes partners don't always agree!* --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
