Adding Comments to Tasks
You can add comments to an assigned task if you want to provide additional information about its status. For example, if you update a task's status from In progress to Waiting on Someone Else, you can use a comment to describe the status change, such as:
left voice mail with John with questions about his changes to the home page
Comments appear at the bottom of the View Tasks screen (illustrated below).
Several comments can be added to a task to record its progress from assignment to completion.
