This release brings several big enhancements to commenting in Workzone that will enable your team to stay up-to-date more efficiently. Read on to learn more about these and other recent improvements!
What's New
Attached-Item Comment Notifications. Users subscribed to a project or task will now automatically receive notifications (in the Inbox and via email, if enabled) of all comments made on files, requests, or boards that are attached to the project or task. This helps ensure that discussions aren't missed, so everyone stays on the same page.
Threaded Comments. All replies to a comment -- via email, Inbox reply, or manual reply using the new Reply arrow below a comment -- will now be nested underneath the comment to which they apply. This allows these related comments to be more clearly organized, especially helpful for long comment lists.
Unread Comment Indicators. To help identify which items haven't been seen yet, Workzone will display unread comments on trays with a gray shaded background and a blue dot. Clicking an unread item in a comments list will mark it as read, making it easier to see what still needs to be reviewed.
Notify the project responsible when comments are made on tasks in the project. This optional feature can be enabled for everyone under Settings or by an individual user under My Settings on the Notifications page.

What We're Working On / Exploring Now [target release]
Repeating projects. Use a template to schedule a project every week, month, quarter, or year. [Sept/Oct]
