As a production manager, it would be useful to see all of the most recent comments in a project, instead of clicking on each individual task and going through the comments. When we used Basecamp the top of each project had a “recent comments” section and it was super helpful. The issue is sometime a project has 50 or more tasks, all with comments, and i would like to see what was recently commented on or worked on.
Welcome to the Forum @Matt_Jaffe and thank you for reaching out!
If you are in a Paid plan you could run an Advanced Search of Tasks add the filter
–> In the Particular Project you want
–> Commented on by : the Project Members
–> Modification date: Within the last X day
(I’m attaching a screenshot to illustrate the steps)
We also have a thread in the #productfeedback category requesting the ability to Sort Task by “Last Comment Date”: Sort Tasks by "Last Comment Date" - #7 by Getz_Pro. If you haven’t yet, I would recommend to upvote it!
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any follow-up question!

I was trying to do this to find any automated comments that had been written during the last week by Asana (through the rule feature). However, asana does not let me find comments by the Asana user.
The “Asana” user is the user that comments whenever a trigger sets a comment action. Is there any way around this?
Yes, not having this feature is tough for me, because I can’t get on the paid plan. Wish this would be a free feature, I get lost not knowing which task I recently commented on, unless I mark each task with a due date in order to access the recently commented in My Task.

Hello,
I usually put updates as comments in project tasks. And I need to view all these updates every other week for reporting.
Now the solution proposed here: How to view all recent comments in a project - #4
doesn’t work for me as it shows only the list of tasks on which I have commented, but not the list of comments.
I want to have like the text of comments listed there. Any workaround to achieve this please ?

Hi @anon44643835, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 
It is currently not possible to view all recent comments in a project. I can certainly understand how this might be useful 
I’ve gone ahead and moved your post to the #productfeedback category to give you and other Community members the option to vote for this feature
I’ll keep you posted if I have any updates!

Hi! I use asana project as a meeting template. I’d like to take notes as comments on tasks throughout the meeting, and send a text only summary of the notes to all attendees after the fact.
The easiest way to do this would be to see a record of the most recent comments (in an ‘activity feed’ or similar, like the updates record within the task details pane) so that I can copy paste from the feed rather than going into each individual task that had notes & copying from there.
the advanced search described above is helpful, but it is similar to sorting by most recently commented in result. Is there any sort of activity feed for a project that could be used to see the most recent comments in one glance?
Thank you!

Adding my vote for this! A feed with all updates to a project (similar to the updates seen in the bottom of the task detail window) would be a game changer!
Replying to myself because I found where one can vote for this feature here.

also adding a vote for this
Adding my vote too. I just came over to Asana from Jira and having an activity stream within a project was sooooooooooooooooo helpful. I feel hobbled in Asana without this.
same here. hobbled.

I would find it very usefull to have a single overview on a project where all comments from tasks is listed.
E.g. to the right in the “Overview” tab along with the Project description, Project roles etc.
Each comment should be labeled with the name of the task that the comment belongs to.
Like an activity thread for the project, that seems interesting. I would find it very noisy though… Not sure what Asana point of view is on this one.
If some find it very noisy it could be a slide-in visible sektion (like when you click on a task in a project). Otherwise a tab only for All comments.
I use a project to keep track of all the tasks within a large Google Ads account.
It would be great to see the whole history for my account in one thread. Also to spot overlapping actions and tasks (in a large account you easily forget what you did yesterday).
In the past I worked at a digital agency having all clients created as projects with a section for each service (Google Ads, Facebook, SEO, Email etc.). In this case it would be great to have a single overview of all activities for each client to keep track of what other specialists is working on as well as the communication with the client. I guess it’s usefull too for other cases with multiple members on one project.

definitely need a filter or reporting option to show comments

+1–this feature is MUCH needed. Or the ability to sort inbox by project.

Yeah, I don’t get why this was not implemented since day 1.
I have a project with 20 tasks. I know someone sent me a comment to one of them because I got an email. If I lose that email, I don’t have any idea where that comment was posted.
So I have to click task by task, and read the latest comments in each one of them. So if it turns out the comment was on the last task, I spent around 2 minutes clicking tasks like if I was searching for my lost wallet in all the drawers in my house!
This doesn’t make sense.
Do it the hubspot way, there’s an Inbox feature where I can see the latest activity no matter what project or task it comes from.
