Reactions ​

Reactions let you respond to comments, project updates, and other content in SetGet with emoji. They provide a lightweight way to acknowledge, agree, or express sentiment without adding a new comment. Reactions are visible to all members and show a count of how many people reacted with each emoji.

Where you can react ​

Reactions are available on:

Content typeLocation
Work item commentsThe discussion section of any work item
Comment repliesIndividual replies within a comment thread
Project updatesThe updates section of a project
Inline commentsComment threads on page content

Adding a reaction ​

  1. Hover over the comment, reply, or update you want to react to.
  2. Click the emoji icon (smiley face) that appears on the right side of the content.
  3. The emoji picker opens.
  4. Click an emoji to add your reaction.

The reaction appears below the content with a count of 1. If you are the first to react with that emoji, it creates a new reaction chip. If others have already used the same emoji, the count increments.

Quick reactions ​

For common responses, you can use the quick reaction bar that appears on hover. The quick reaction bar shows frequently used emoji:

EmojiCommon meaning
👍Agreement, approval, acknowledgment
👎Disagreement, concern
❤️Appreciation, strong support
🎉Celebration, excitement
🤔Considering, needs more thought
👀Looking into it, awareness
🚀Great progress, impressive
🔥Excellent, outstanding

Click any quick reaction emoji to add it instantly without opening the full picker.

Full emoji picker ​

Click the + icon on the quick reaction bar to open the full emoji picker. The picker includes:

  • Search — type to filter emoji by name or keyword
  • Categories — browse by category (smileys, people, nature, food, activities, travel, objects, symbols, flags)
  • Frequently used — your most recently used emoji appear at the top
  • Skin tone selector — choose a skin tone preference for applicable emoji

Removing a reaction ​

To remove your reaction:

  1. Find the reaction chip below the content.
  2. Click the emoji chip that shows your reaction.
  3. Your reaction is removed and the count decrements.

If you were the only person who reacted with that emoji, the chip disappears entirely.

Reaction counts ​

Each unique emoji reaction shows a count of how many people have reacted with it:

DisplayMeaning
👍 3Three people reacted with thumbs up
❤️ 1One person reacted with heart
🎉 5Five people reacted with celebration

Viewing who reacted ​

Hover over a reaction chip to see a tooltip listing the names of everyone who reacted with that emoji. If more than five people reacted, the tooltip shows the first five names and a count of additional reactors (e.g., "Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, Eve, and 3 others").

Reaction types ​

SetGet supports the full Unicode emoji set. Any emoji available in the picker can be used as a reaction. There is no limit to the number of different emoji that can be used on a single comment.

Common reaction patterns ​

PatternUse case
👍 for approvalQuick sign-off on a proposed change or decision
👀 for awarenessSignal that you have seen the comment and will follow up
🤔 for discussionIndicate that the topic needs further consideration
🎉 for celebrationAcknowledge a completed milestone or achievement
🔥 for qualityExpress appreciation for excellent work
👎 for concernFlag disagreement or a potential issue (use sparingly)

Reaction notifications ​

When someone reacts to your comment, you may receive a notification depending on your notification preferences. By default, reaction notifications are disabled to reduce noise, but you can enable them:

  1. Open Settings > Notifications.
  2. Find the Reaction on my comment event.
  3. Toggle the in-app or email delivery as desired.

Reaction limits ​

Multiple emoji from one userAllowed — you can add as many different emoji as you like

Reactions on different content types ​

Work item comments ​

Reactions on work item comments are the most common use case. They appear directly below the comment text and are visible to all project members.

Project updates ​

React to project updates in the same way as comments. Reactions on updates indicate team acknowledgment of the status report. This is especially useful for status updates — a 👍 from stakeholders signals that they have read and accepted the update.

Inline page comments ​

Reactions are also available on inline comments within pages. They follow the same interaction pattern — hover, click the emoji icon, and select.

Comment replies ​

Individual replies within a threaded discussion can receive reactions independently from the parent comment. This lets you acknowledge specific replies without reacting to the entire thread.

Accessibility ​

Reactions use standard Unicode emoji, which are accessible to screen readers. The reaction chip reads as "[emoji name] [count] reactions" (e.g., "thumbs up 3 reactions"). The tooltip listing reactor names is also accessible via keyboard navigation.

Best practices ​

  • Use reactions to reduce comment noise — a thumbs-up is more efficient than typing "I agree" as a separate comment.
  • Establish team conventions — agree on what common reactions mean in your team (e.g., 👀 means "I will review this").
  • Use reactions for lightweight polls — post a comment with options and ask team members to react with specific emoji to vote.
  • Do not over-react — adding many different emoji to a single comment can clutter the view. Stick to one or two meaningful reactions.
  • Check reaction tooltips — hover over reactions to see who has acknowledged or agreed. This helps confirm that the right people have seen a message.
  • React to project updates — use reactions to acknowledge that you have read a status update. This gives the author confidence that the team is informed.
