# Comments feed

> Display Airtable record comments on your form for collaboration and review workflows.

The comments feed widget shows a threaded list of comments from the Airtable record on your form. This is useful for edit-mode and portal forms where team members need to discuss a record while reviewing or updating it.

## When to use the comments feed

* Approval workflows where reviewers leave notes on a submission
* Internal portal forms where team members discuss a record
* Client-facing forms where back-and-forth communication is needed on a record
* Any edit-mode form where context from previous discussions matters

## Settings

| ------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Max items**       | Number         | Maximum number of comments to display. Default: 10           |

<Info>
  Comments are pulled from the Airtable record's comment thread. This widget only works when the form is in [edit mode](/docs/edit-mode/how-edit-mode-works) with a specific record loaded.
