Deep dive | View comments

With External Share for Confluence and External Share for Jira
you can decide whatever to show comments on shared page or issue:

Things are a little bit different in Jira Service Desk.
In Jira Service Desk "View comments" is called "View public comments",
and additionally there is option to enable "View internal comments":

They are directly mapping to Jira Service Desk "Internal note" and "Reply to customer" as:

  • View public comments -> Reply to customer

  • View internal comments -> Internal note

(Jira Service desk comment section)

Jira Server & Data Center

On Jira Server comments can be restricted to role or group:
