When working with collaborators on an experiment or individual plot, you can now leave a comment. Comments are useful for tracking information from different collaborators; for example, a biologist may notice artifacts in one of their plots and leave a comment for the team’s bioinformaticist to take a deeper look at some data for a potential batch effect. You can reply to colleagues’ comments to keep conversations in threads.
Another important aspect of research is keeping a record of your thought process, overall findings, and biological interpretation. In Pluto, you can use notes to store these kinds of highlights in an easily findable way.
In the conversation sidebar in Pluto, you can easily filter comments and notes by the experiment or plot they pertain to.
