Discussion on a File

At times, you may need to discuss and collaborate on files. You can do that by initiating a discussion on the file. Users can add comments on files. This is useful if you want to conduct a review or approval process. For instance, you can upload your Project Plan file in the client folder and conduct the discussion on that file with your client. If you are subscribed to this discussion, then you can participate right from your email client.

1. Go to your project and click on the files link from the left panel.
2. From the actions drop-down against the file, navigate to More and then click on Start Discussion.
