You need to fill the following information:

* **Comment**: Write your comment.
* You can mention a colleague by typing @ and selecting their name, then add a comment. The colleague will receive a notification in their company email, along with a link to the candidate’s profile.
* You can also select which roles can view your comment

Click on the **Submit** button to add the comment which will immediately appear in the candidate's [timeline](/manage-candidates/candidate-view.md#activity-timeline).
