The buttons of possible actions will appear to the left of the name of the comment author, if you put the cursor over it: edit, delete, reply. The "Edit" and "Delete" buttons appear only, if you are the author of this comment.

• — means that the task was closed by the user.
• — means that the list of the assigned users (groups) to the task was replenished. The list of the added users (groups) is displayed after the icon.
• — means that the list of the assigned users (groups) was decreased. The list of the removed users (groups) is displayed after the icon.

If a task contains attached files, you can copy them to the "Documents" module right from the task-viewing mode by pressing the button that appears to the right of the attached file name when you put the mouse cursor over it. This function is available if you have access to the "Documents" module.
