What is comment in Google Sheets?
Comment covers comments, notes, mentions, notifications, and version history in Google Sheets. These tools document decisions without changing cell values.
When to use it
Use comments and history when multiple people edit one file and you need an audit trail or async discussion.
When to skip it
Skip cell notes when a change log tab or project tool already tracks decisions with more structure.
