+title: "Support for tagging and commenting on log messages"
+excerpt: Annotate log messages with your thoughts.
+---
+
+*(This change is in v0.8.4+)*
+
+If you have been wanting to add notes to log messages you might be interested
+in, the new [`:comment`](https://docs.lnav.org/en/latest/commands.html#comment-text)
+and [`:tag`](https://docs.lnav.org/en/latest/commands.html#tag-tag) commands.
+These commands add a comment or tag(s) to the top message in the log view.
+The comments and tags are saved in the session, so they will be restored
+automatically when the file is reopened. These annotations can be searched
+for using the regular search prompt and can be accessed in the
+[log tables](https://docs.lnav.org/en/latest/sqlext.html#log-tables) using the
+`log_tags` and `log_comment` columns.
