# Commenting

BugSplat allows users to leave comments and have discussions about crashes and stack keys.

### Leaving Comments

Using the **Activity** module found at the bottom of the [Crashes](https://docs.bugsplat.com/introduction/using-the-app#crashes) and [Stack Key](https://docs.bugsplat.com/introduction/using-the-app#stack-key) pages allows users to comment and discuss issues pertaining to the defect.

This can be a useful tool for making personal notes or for having a larger discussion with team members.

Comments left in the **Activity** module persist and are viewable by anyone with access to the database where the crash or stack key lives.

### Adding a Note

Notes differ slightly from comments as they are not designed to foster a conversation around a crash or stack key but are used to manually add details important to understanding the crash.

The “Notes” tools live in the right-hand action column of the [Crashes](https://docs.bugsplat.com/introduction/using-the-app#crashes) and [Stack Key](https://docs.bugsplat.com/introduction/using-the-app#stack-key) pages.

When text is added to the **Notes**tool that text is searchable and appears in line with other crash and error data on the [Crashes](https://docs.bugsplat.com/introduction/using-the-app#crashes) page.

Team's use this tool to add custom, searchable data to crash reports and stack keys.
