Comments Choose comments when the core object needs attached discussion, review feedback, annotation, or follow-up notes that remain separate from the object's primary editable content. Submitting a comment creates a durable item with stable ID, author, timestamp, body, anchor, visibility scope, and notification behavior. GitHub moderation guidance supports hide, unhide, edit history, redaction, delete permissions, delete timeline events, and reasoned moderation.
