Comments

Open Comments in the artifact window header. On a phone it covers the screen.
  • Select text, cells, a slide or an element first and the comment attaches to it; the thread shows On … with what it points at.
  • Replies stay in the thread. Resolve folds a thread away (Resolved (n) shows them again; Reopen brings one back). You can delete your own comments; the owner can delete any.
  • Comments refresh every 20 seconds while the window is open.

Ask Allternit in a comment

Write @gizzi or @allternit in a comment (or press Ask Allternit on a thread that mentions it). Allternit receives the comment and what it points at and either changes just that part, saving a new version, or answers. Its answer appears in the thread as Allternit. While it works the thread says Waiting for Allternit…. If it answers in the chat instead of changing the artifact, the reply stays in the chat. Who answers depends on where you are:
  • You can edit and have a conversation open: Allternit works in that conversation and can change the artifact, as above.
  • Otherwise (you can only comment, or the app is closed on a phone): Allternit’s servers answer in the thread within a few seconds. This reply reads the artifact and the thread but doesn’t change the artifact; it says what it would change, and an editor can ask for it in a chat. It uses your AI credits, like any other request you make.
If Allternit can’t answer (for example you’re out of credits), the reply in the thread says why.

What each sharing level can do

Docs are shared as Viewer or Editor only, so a Doc has no Commenter. Viewers can read the comments but not add any; the Comments panel tells them to ask the owner for more access.

​
Presence

The avatars next to Share show who else has the artifact open right now. A dark ring means they’re editing. Presence is live: it shows people who have had the artifact open in the last 45 seconds, wherever they opened it, and Allternit deletes the entry shortly after they leave. It doesn’t keep a history of who viewed what. Organization admins can turn presence off for everyone in the org; the avatars then don’t appear.

​
Versions

Every autosave is a version, with who made it (You, A collaborator, or By Gizzi). Editors open any version from the clock menu. Owners can pin the version viewers see in the Share window.
