Comment Notifications brings every comment you’re tagged in, as well as those relevant to you, across Audits, QAuto, Tests, Documents, Controls, Policies, and Risks into one unified view. You’ll also be notified of comments even if you aren’t tagged directly. For example, if you're the owner of a control, you’ll see comments made on that control. Instead of hunting through email or Slack, new comments will appear in your notifications, helping you stay focused on responding and collaborating with your team and auditors.
