# Add/Delete Check-in Comments

After the manager [starts](/v1/docs/startend-a-check-in-session) a [check-in session](/v1/docs/check-ins-1) (ongoing one-to-one conversation between a manager and an employee), both the manager and the employee can add comments to the check-in topics.

Comments that are not related to any specific check-in topic can be added to the Overall check-in comments section. Overall comments can be added irrespective of whether the check-in is in progress or not.

### To add a check-in comment

1. Open the Check-in window for the employee that has a check-in in progress:
  - In the Employee role, go to My Details > My Details, and, on the employee card, on the Performance tab, click Check-in.
  - In the Manager role, go to My Team Performance > My Team Check-ins, select one of your subordinate employees, and then click View.
2. In the Check-in window, click a topic you want to add a comment to or, if you are the manager, add a new topic if necessary.

3. Under comments, type your comment to start or continue the topic discussion, and then click Add Comment.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673521494153.png)

If a topic has new comment, given by the other check-in participant, such a topic is marked as Unread.

*Note**Only the last comment in a topic discussion can be deleted and only by the comment author.*

The last comment, if available, for each topic is displayed in the **Check-in** window without the necessity to open the topic to read it.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673521593769.png)

### To delete the last comment for a topic

1. In the Check-in window, open a topic where you want to delete a comment.
2. Under the last comment, click Delete last comment. This action is available only if you are the author of the last topic comment.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673521649972.png)

In the Manager role, you can [edit](/v1/docs/addeditdelete-check-in-topics-3) the topic to update the progress of the topic discussion or to [mark it as Completed](/v1/docs/complete-check-in-topics-2).
