Two streams, one tab
The tab combines two underlying streams:Team comments
Free-text notes your team writes for each other — “Spoke with adjuster, says payment by Friday,” “Client called re: PT progress.” Threaded replies, edits, and @mentions are all here.
System activity
Auto-generated events — Stage transitions, Step completions, document uploads, demand sends, negotiation moves, ownership changes. Read-only.
Adding a comment
The composer at the top of the tab supports:- Plain text with line breaks
- @mentions — type
@and pick a teammate; they’ll get a notification - Markdown shortcuts for bold, italic, lists, links
- Replies — click “Reply” on any comment to nest your response
Editing and deleting
You can edit or delete your own comments from the ⋯ menu on each comment. Edits show an “(edited)” marker; deletions leave a tombstone (“Comment deleted by Jane Doe at 3:42pm”) so the audit trail isn’t broken. Firm admins can delete anyone’s comment but with a permanent log of who removed it and when.What system events look like
Every important automatic moment becomes a one-line entry:- 🔄 Stage advanced from “Treatment” to “Records Collection” by Auto-Advancement at 10:14 AM
- ✅ Step completed: “Records requested from St. Luke’s” by Maria P. at 9:47 AM
- 📤 Document uploaded:
medical-records-st-lukes.pdf(4.2 MB) by Maria P. - 💵 Negotiation move: First offer of $42,500 received from Allstate
- 👥 Ownership changed: Reassigned from Tom B. to Sarah K. by firm admin
Filtering and search
The filter strip above the feed gives you:- All / Comments / System — the stream toggle
- Date range — last 7 days / 30 days / custom
- By user — show only entries from a specific teammate
- Search — free text across comment bodies and event labels
Notifications
When you’re @mentioned in a comment, you get an in-app notification (and an email if you’ve enabled email notifications in your profile). When you reply to a thread, the original author and anyone else in the thread get notified. System events do not generate notifications by default — too noisy. Specific high-signal events (Stage transitions on cases you own, SOL warnings, demand replies) do fire dedicated notifications through the broader notification system.Where to go next
