I. Intro
You can add comments to a node in both outline and mind map views. Comments can't be added to multiple nodes at once.
Permission requirements:
- Users with view permissions can comment by default.
- Permission settings of the mindnote or the permission settings of the mindnote's location (folder or parent page) may require users to have edit permission to comment
Note: A mindnote and a board mind map are two different features. For details on commenting on a mindmap on a board, see Comment and collaborate on a board.
