Issues and comments provide a way to communicate with Annotators, Reviewers, Annotators & Reviewers, Team Managers, and Admins within Projects. Issues and Comments are shared between the Label Editor and the Project Explorer, meaning issues created in the Label Editor can be seen in the Project Explorer, and issues created in the Project Explorer can be seen in the Label Editor.
Users with the Viewer role on Workflow projects can post comments and raise issues in the Explorer. This is an explicit exception to their otherwise read-only access — Viewers cannot create or modify collections, filter presets, or prediction sets, and cannot perform bulk actions.
