About This Feature
Overview
Gantt View Comments is a collaboration feature in WPS Office for Android within smart tables. It lets you open a task bar in Gantt view, enter the related record details page, and discuss that task in the comment area at the bottom of the record.
The main capabilities include:
- Add comments: Enter text in the comment box and send it to explain progress, raise questions, or leave task updates.
- Manage comments: View the full discussion for the current record, continue the conversation, and delete comments when needed.
This feature is useful for project scheduling follow-up, task status confirmation, and team collaboration. Because comments stay attached to the record, the same discussion can be reviewed again whenever you open that record from a view.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, you can tap a task bar in Gantt view, open the related record details page, add comments in the bottom comment area, and review the discussion for that record. | Microsoft Project supports adding notes to tasks and project schedules, but the official guidance is mainly for desktop or web task notes rather than Android Gantt task comments. | Google Sheets on Android supports adding, editing, replying to, and deleting comments for cells, which works well for spreadsheet collaboration but not for Gantt task bars. | Notion supports comments and discussions for database pages, and timeline-related comments are available when a table is shown next to the timeline. | Adobe Acrobat mobile supports viewing, commenting on, replying to, and annotating shared PDFs, which fits document review rather than Gantt task collaboration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the comment entry is directly tied to the task bar's record details page; Distinct: the discussion stays attached to the task record for ongoing follow-up. | Compared with WPS: task notes are documented mainly as note fields in Project desktop or web workflows. | Compared with WPS: comment tools are complete, but they are centered on cells instead of task bars in a Gantt schedule. | Compared with WPS: comments are available, but timeline commenting depends on showing the table next to the timeline. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is designed for PDF review and annotation instead of task-record discussions in a schedule view. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a closer fit for mobile project scheduling discussions because the comment flow starts from the Gantt task bar and stays connected to the related record. The other products cover nearby scenarios such as task notes, cell comments, database discussions, or PDF review, but they do not present the same Android Gantt task comment path.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How This Feature Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Track task progress | Project managers and task owners | Progress updates need to stay with the task | Add comments directly in the task record to explain the latest status |
| 2 | Collect collaboration feedback | Team collaborators | Feedback is scattered across chat tools | Review all comments for the same record in one comment panel |
| 3 | Raise task questions | Task executors | Questions need to stay tied to a specific task | Open the record details page and send a text comment in the comment area |
| 4 | Remove outdated discussion | Record maintainers | Old or mistaken comments affect readability | Use the three-dot menu beside a comment to delete it |
| 5 | Review discussion across views | Users working in multiple views | It is hard to confirm past discussion from different views | Comments stay attached to the record, so the same discussion can be reviewed again |
