I would also like to see this. When a comment is deleted it isn’t logged and it isn’t recoverable.
Yes, deleting comments can be convenient at times, but the way it has been implemented could lead to lost data, intentional or unintentional. Without it being logged, it could lead to a lack of awareness or confusion as to what happened.
An organization’s data integrity shouldn’t be at risk from one drunken or disgruntled member.
Thank you Marie!
I agree with Vince. The whole idea with a work task management software like Asana iis to have multiple users. Therefore, an organization’s data integrity should be of high priority. There are several issues with Asana that to me indicate this is not the case. Here is a short, non-complete list of some things:
With this said, Asana team, please consider threads like these a sign that you need to prioritize data integrity.
Another request +1 for this level of control
I’m here to say I deleted a comment by accident and want a way to find it.
Upvoted. I think this is very important as editing or deleting a comment is a sensitive action.
Stumbled completely by accident across the fact that changing the ‘Details’ on a task is then captured in ‘Show difference’. Notwithstanding the comments above about data integrity, on the face of it this looks like a basic but really effective way for a team to collaborate on a simple document without introducing attachments. Is anybody using it in that way, and if so, how successful have you found it?
Yes please,
We are trying to use Asana for Operation, not only project.
Our Finance And Accounting refuse to use Asana just because everyone can edit task description, title, comments etc… They stick to Email because they are afraid of task content and info changed without controlling.
That is why we still have to stick to our ITMS system, where every single task or Issue/Service request has a Task ID, No one can edit or change anything once they have created the task or comments. They can add new comment of course. If any changed then the system will log everything as well.
Adding a +1 to this. It would be very useful to have the ability to see the edits that have been made to comments.
Wow. This request is now nearly 3 years old and still nothing is done yet? 
It is … well, let’s say “strange” that in a project management tool you could modify any comments without any chance to see the previous text… Is there any information why this should not be implemented? Is it a general decision? The description could be recovered, so it’s probably not a technical issue.
OMG, please fix this. I keep following instructions, only to find out that I did them wrong… when I go to double check where I ‘misunderstood’, it simply says “edited”.
Someone is going to get in a lot of trouble over this missing functionality,
I feel like i’m going crazy when someone forgets to tag me and it seems they add the tag days later when they come back to check on the task. So I came here to find the edit log. Concerned about people looking bad when someone edits a comment to make it look like they addressed them earlier instead of last minute. To anyone else checking in on a task it looks like they dropped the ball and aren’t paying attention. Please fix this that hasn’t been addressed for years @Marie
Hello,
I agree with the others. “Show the difference” in the comments is a must!
Please also consider the notification in inbox when someone edits a comment.
There also should be some notification and history when someone delete a comment.
Hi, any update on this? Editing comments has been causing issues on my team because the email notifications don’t have the latest info. This has been discussed with the team, but being able to turn this off for certain people would be helpful.
