# Add comments to assets

1. Browse to the asset's Lansweeper webpage and select **Add comment** in the **Comments** tab of the page.
2. Enter a comment into the pop-up window and select **Ok**. There is a comment count in the **Comments** tab header. This allows you to quickly identify machines with comments, without actually opening the **Comments** tab.

Comments added to the **Comments** tab are stored in the tblAssetComments database table. You'll notice, when you select **Edit Asset** on an asset page, that there's another Comments field at the bottom of the page. If filled in, this field is shown in the **Summary** tab of the asset's Lansweeper webpage. It is solely provided for backward compatibility with old Lansweeper releases and stores data in the Comments field of `tblAssetCustom`, not in `tblAssetComments`.

You can prevent users from adding comments to the **Comments** tab. More info on restricting web console access can be found in [this knowledge base article](/classic/docs/restrict-access-to-the-web-console).
