# Create a Comment

## What is a Comment?

A **comment** is a note attached to specific blocks or elements, allowing collaborators to discuss, suggest edits, or leave reminders without altering the main content.

The comments appear in a sidebar and form discussion threads with replies, helping teams communicate and refine documents effectively.\
\
A **comment manager** is a simple, integrated manager that list and helps manage all co-workers comments within the course for seamless collaboration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.parta.io/collaboration/set-comments/create-a-comment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
