Agree on a small set#

Create a few useful styles in Project Settings → Plugins → Comment Presets. For example, choose labels for server logic, client logic, and unfinished work.

The Preset Name is the card title. Preset Text is what reaches the comment.

Share project settings#

Presets and Prefix Existing Comment are project settings, saved in Config/DefaultEditorPerProjectSettings.ini. Include that file in your normal source-control workflow so teammates receive the same list and behavior.

Changing the checkbox above the cards changes the same shared setting as Project Settings. Choose its value with the team in mind.

Work with read-only settings#

If the checkbox reports that a change is for this session only, the project settings could not be saved. Check out the settings file through your normal source-control workflow, then click the checkbox twice, or change any preset in Project Settings, to save the value shown.

Update a shared style#

Edit the preset, save the project settings, and share the change. Teammates receive it after syncing the settings file and restarting the editor, then reselecting a comment to refresh the cards. Previously styled comments do not update automatically.

Recover an accidental replacement#

Press Ctrl+Z immediately after applying the preset. Enable prefix mode and apply it again, or use a color-only preset when the text should always stay intact.
