Whale Comments
Flag the step. Ask the question. Fix the SOP
Threaded comments on any card or guide capture feedback where the process lives. Your team flags stale steps, asks questions, and suggests edits without leaving Whale.

The problem
Your SOPs go stale because nobody flags them
Your team already spots the stale steps while running the process. Comments attach the fix to the step, so the next person who opens the SOP sees the question, the answer, and the update.
How teams do it today: SOPs go stale because nobody flags the broken step
With Whale's Comments: Team members flag the exact step that needs an update
How teams do it today: Feedback gets buried in Teams threads the author misses
With Whale's Comments: Every comment attaches to the card, not to a chat channel
How teams do it today: The same question gets asked every onboarding cycle
With Whale's Comments: One answer in the thread is visible to everyone who opens the card
How teams do it today: Edits happen weeks after the problem was spotted
With Whale's Comments: Resolved comments turn into SOP edits while the problem is fresh
Comments live on the card, not in Teams
Open any card or step-by-step guide and drop a comment directly on the content.
- The comment stays with the SOP for every future reader.
- Nobody has to dig through Teams, email, or a DM thread to find the feedback that led to the current version.
Threaded replies. Resolve, reopen, repeat
Reply in a thread to keep the conversation tight.
- Mark a comment as resolved when the answer lands or the SOP gets updated.
- Reopen it if the same issue surfaces again later.
- Every comment is timestamped and attributed, so the trail of how a process evolved is always visible.
Every resolved comment makes Whale smarter
A resolved comment often means the SOP was edited.
- That edit flows into every assigned training flow, so the next person onboarding reads the updated version.
- Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, pulls answers from the latest card.
- CoPilot surfaces the updated SOP inside the tool where the work happens.
How it works
- 01
Comment on the exact step
Open a card or a step-by-step guide, click the comment icon, and leave a question, a flag, or a suggested edit attached to the content.
- 02
The thread resolves the question
The author or a subject matter expert replies in the thread. The SOP gets updated if needed. Mark the comment resolved and the thread collapses out of the way.
- 03
The next reader sees the current version
Assigned trainees, Alice, and CoPilot all pull from the updated card. No re-announcement, no stale handout, no outdated onboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start for Free01 Who can leave comments?
Any user with access to a card can leave a comment. Visibility follows the card’s permissions, so a comment on a restricted card is only visible to users who can open that card. Admins and editors can pin, resolve, or delete comments on any card they can edit. Guests on public shared links cannot comment, they can only view the published SOP.
02 How do teammates get notified when I comment or tag them?
Notifications follow each user’s channel preferences. If a user has connected Microsoft Teams or Slack, mentions and replies arrive as direct messages in that channel. Email and in-app notifications are always available. The user sees the comment in context with a direct link to the card, so they never have to hunt for what triggered the notification.
03 Can I resolve comments, and can I reopen them?
Yes. When the question is answered or the SOP gets updated, mark the comment resolved and it collapses out of the active view. If the same issue surfaces later, reopen the original thread instead of starting a new one. The full history is preserved so anyone reviewing the process can see how it evolved.
04 Do comments tie into SOP edits and training updates?
When a comment leads to an SOP edit, the edit flows into every place that card appears. Assigned training flows pull the updated version. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, answers from the latest card. CoPilot surfaces the current SOP inside other tools. Version history tracks the change so you can see exactly what the comment drove.
05 Which plan includes comments?
Comments are a Power-Up add-on available from the Team plan upward. The add-on covers threaded comments on cards and step-by-step guides, resolve and reopen, mentions across Teams, Slack, and email, and visibility of the comment trail in version history. Free and Essentials plans do not include comments.
06 How is this different from commenting in Notion or Confluence?
Notion and Confluence comments live on a page in a general-purpose workspace. A comment on a Whale card is attached to a structured SOP that runs inside training flows, gets quizzed, and is surfaced by CoPilot inside the tools where the process actually runs. Whale is AI-Powered SOP Software that gets your team trained, so a resolved comment drives the training your team sees next week, not just a cleaner paragraph in a wiki.
