Comments are a beta feature, and improvements are coming in future releases. Please suggest or upvote improvements at this link.

Comments will be gradually rolled out:

• On desktop, starting from Evernote 10.129.2.
• On mobile, starting from Evernote 10.129.1.
• On the lite editor and web, they are already available.

If you open a note that contains Comments using a version of Evernote that does not support them, you will see a warning message. Since modifications could unintentionally affect other people’s Comments, we recommend updating Evernote.

1. Overview

Comments in Evernote let you add feedback and have discussions directly within your notes. Whether you’re collaborating with a team, reviewing your work, or jotting down ideas for later, Comments help you keep everything in context—right where it matters.

With Comments, you can:

• Provide targeted feedback: Add comments on specific parts of your text without altering the note itself.
• Collaborate in context: Start a discussion by replying directly to comments.
• Track decisions and ideas: Resolve or delete comments when they’re no longer needed.
• See who said what: Each comment displays the author’s name and profile picture.
• Stay in sync: Comments sync instantly across devices so your conversations are always up to date.
  
• Keep threaded discussions: Support multiple comments within a single thread.
  

2. How to use Comments

For now, you can view Comments on mobile and the Lite editor, but you cannot create or modify them. To access the full functionality described below, use the desktop client or Evernote Web. Editing capabilities on mobile and the Lite editor will be available soon.

Edit comments in the Lite Editor

Soon, you’ll be able to add and edit comments in Evernote’s Lite Editor.

Commenting on Images

We’re exploring ways to allow you to leave comments on images—not just on text.

Resolve threads

Want to archive comment threads but still keep them accessible? We’re working on a way to resolve threads while preserving them for future reference.

Hide all comments

4. List of known problems

As a beta feature, Comments have some limitations that we plan to address in future releases:

• Editing issues: If someone edits a note containing comments using an Evernote version that doesn’t support comments, their modifications could unintentionally affect other people’s comments.
• Dark mode on mobile: If you interact with Comments while using dark mode on mobile, you may experience some visibility issues. We're working on fixing them as soon as possible.

Your feedback helps shape what’s next! Let us know what you think here and how we can make Comments even better. 🚀
