Changing your name

To add a comment, move your mouse cursor over a task and on its right side you will see a few buttons. To add a comment click on the comments button.

Writing comment for a task that was shared with you

Please keep in mind that depending on the shared list's permissions you might not be able to leave comments or attach documents.
