When you click on the Comments button, a left-hand pane opens where you can chat with other Users. Each Workbook's Views have their proper comments. Any User (who is allowed to do so) can add a comment, mention other users, and add a snapshot of the current View.
Comments are a great way for you to add more information about your Views. Other users can also use this feature if they spot mistakes or if they have questions.
