Explain the problem as you see it
When collaborating on a project it may be good to not just edit a node, but write a comment about it, so that other people will see this comment and work on it
Why is this a problem for you?
- When adding comment, don't want to clutter the actual document we're collaborating on

Create a new node type: Comment.
It can be edited only by author.
Comment nodes are indented under the commented one, just as regular nodes.
Comment's node icon — an avatar of comment author.
You can use all magic of Tana in the comment: add live searches showcasing the idea or giving a reference.
You can have discussions under the Comment node just as new Comment nodes.
We can also move this Ideas Forum there to make it more actionable and collaborative. I love the granularity of content in Tana → it makes it perfect to give a specific comment about a particular part, and is very inviting.

Even when I'm writing solo, I'd sometimes like to use comments to highlight sentences/paragraphs I need to rewrite.
Yes this is a good idea, team have explored chat and comments and have prototype and have avenues for further advance. Not ready and no active plans for launch yet.
It would also be great if these "comment' nodes can be placed inside a query to document why you set a query up like you did. These "comment" nodes would. of course, be ignored by the query itself.
