In Freelo, discussions take place right below the task. Not in email, not in chat. You can reply directly to the part of the message that interests you, tag a colleague, and always have the conversation history at your fingertips.

History Always Appears in the Assignment
The question is asked in an email, the answer is given in a chat, and you can't find the decision. Discussions in Freelo keep the entire history tied to the task —who asked, who answered, and what was agreed upon.
A chat message can easily get lost among dozens of others. A mention in a discussion will appear right in the task it relates to, and you’ll receive a notification about it both in the app and via email.
The decision was made during a meeting he didn't attend or in a conversation he doesn't have access to. In Freelo, he can see the change history right next to the task, regardless of when it was added.
”The discussion is not a separate chat alongside the tasks; it is part of them. Whatever you write in the discussion for a task remains there permanently, even if the task is later moved to another project.”
Need to know where the team is stuck without calling a meeting? The Discussion section shows you the latest comments under each task. Just check the Dashboard or your notifications to see what’s being discussed and what the status is.
When colleagues are working from different cities or time zones, a reply may not come right away. It will remain in the comment section below the task until they read it, and unlike in a chat, there’s no risk of them forgetting to come back to it.
An unclear assignment can bring work to a complete halt, just like missing materials from a colleague. Post your question directly in the task, and as soon as you get a response, pick up right where you left off. Others don’t have to figure out what was agreed upon.
Type @ and select the name of the colleague you want to notify about the comment. That person will receive a notification, even if they aren’t currently assigned to the task. Use @project to notify the entire project with a single mention. On higher-tier plans, you can also mention the entire team, such as @marketing. A mention is a one-time action: it doesn’t automatically add anyone as a follower; it simply sends a notification to the person the question actually concerns.

Select a portion of a comment, and Freelo will immediately display a "Reply" button. The selected text will be inserted into your new comment as a quote with the author's name, so you can respond to multiple questions one by one without any confusion. When you hover your mouse over a reply, a preview of the original text appears, so you won’t lose your place even in a longer discussion.
Browse comments on Freelo
You can enhance your text with color, highlighting, quotes, or numbered lists. You can record your screen and voice directly from your browser, attach a video or audio file (MP4, MOV, WAV, and others), and your colleague can play it right in Freelo without downloading it to their computer.

The task discussion is a thread of comments linked directly to a specific task, subtask, or project note. Instead of scattered communication via email and chat, each task now has its own context— the assignment, updates, and decisions—all in one place, accessible to anyone who has access to the task.
Email and chat are standalone tools with no connection to a specific task. A message gets lost among dozens of others, and you either have to keep the context in your head or search for it in your inbox. In contrast, a discussion on a task remains linked to the assignment it belongs to— the history doesn’t get lost, and even a new team member can find it, even a year later.
A discussion is a thread of comments associated with a specific task, subtask, or project note. It contains the task description, follow-up questions, and final decisions, all arranged in chronological order. Anyone with access to the task can view it.
Type @ and select a name from the list of users in the project. That person will receive a notification in the app and, depending on their settings, via email as well—even if they aren't assigned to the task. Use @project to mention the entire project with a single mention. See the help section on mentions for more information.
Use your mouse to highlight a specific section of text, and Freelo will display a "Reply" button. The selected section will be inserted as a quote with the author's name, so you can break down even a long comment with seven questions one by one. Detailed instructions are available in the help section.
