# Item Detail, Comments, Activity

Click any item in the kanban board or list view to open the detail panel. The detail view shows all fields for an item and lets you edit them in place.

### Editable Fields

* **Title** -- Click the title text to edit it inline.
* **Status** -- Dropdown with all valid statuses for the item's type.
* **Priority** -- Dropdown (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
* **Owner** -- User picker to assign responsibility.
* **Description** -- Text area for detailed notes and context.
* **Tags** -- Add or remove categorization tags.
* **Due Date** -- Date picker for deadlines.
* **Progress** -- Percentage slider, available on Plan items only.

Fields vary by item type. For example, Feature items include Release Version and Release Notes, while Idea items have only Title and Status.

### Comments

Add comments to discuss an item without changing its fields. Each comment shows the author and timestamp.

Comments are useful for team discussions, leaving notes for your future self, or recording context that doesn't fit in the description. AI agents can also add comments to items during sessions.

### Activity Log

Every change to an item is recorded in the activity log:

* **Who** made the change (you or an AI agent)
* **When** it happened
* **What** changed (field name, before value, after value)

The activity log provides a complete audit trail. When an AI agent updates an item during a session -- marking a bug as done or changing a plan's progress -- that change is recorded with the same detail as manual edits.

### Linked Sessions

Items created or modified during AI sessions are automatically linked. The detail view shows connected sessions so you can jump back to the conversation where the item was discussed, created, or updated.

### Linked Files

Items backed by markdown files show their source file path. You can also explicitly link additional files to an item for reference -- design docs, specs, or related source code.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nimbalyst.com/task-management/item-detail.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
