Sorry the sounds a little off on this one, working from the road this week!

Great tutorial as always! One question I have is about the workflow. Once you've imported someone's comments, what's the best way to close the loop when the model has been updated and is ready for review or needs additional input? Using your example, you noted to move the A/C vent, which someone did, but then found a conflict, or wants to know if you want the sprinkler head to move also, etc. Is there a way for them to add a reply or create a new comment for the reviewer in a running conversation until the task is complete? And once the task is complete, how is it closed out and archived?
