Item Overview
Each Board in Plaky contains entities called Items. Item can be a notion, unit or any other building part of your project that makes sense to you (e.g. task, location, client, time determinant…).
Each created Item has the following components: Item Card, Comments, Activities, and Files.
Once created, all Item components can be edited and modified according to your needs. All information related to the Item can be edited in the Item Card section. Additionally to that, you can also add Comments, Files, Item subscribers and check Activity log.
For each Item on your Board you can create one or more subitems. For more information about it, check out this article.
Activity tab and Item activity log are available only on Web and iOS versions of the app at the moment.

Comments #
In the Item’s Comments section, you can add any additional information, mention another Team Member, or add an update relevant to the Item in question. This information is in a text format.
If you, for some reason, started to type the text in the Item’s Comment section on the Web version of the app and left the section without saving the text, Plaky will save that text in draft form. This way, you can come back to it and continue where you left off.
Additionally, you have the option to perform certain actions on comments.
