# Comment on Totara goals

When monitoring and updating [Totara goals](/totara-20/docs/what-are-goals-1), users can add comments to have a conversation about how the user is progressing towards their goals. These comments allow users and their managers to collaborate, provide context, and update each other as they work on their goals.

You can add a comment to any goal you're able to view, including your own goals or those of your direct reports (if you're a manager).
