### Comment Privacy

Choose which type of Jira comments should be published to Zoho Desk:

* **All** – Both Public and Private Jira comments will be published to Zoho Desk.
* **Public** – Only Public Jira comments will be published to Zoho Desk.
* **Private** – Only Private Jira comments will be published to Zoho Desk.

Please note that this setting applies **only to Jira Service Management (JSM) projects**.

For all other Jira project types, comments will be synced regardless of the selected comment privacy setting.

### Comment Tag Filter

Comment Tag Filter allows you to further restrict which comments are published to Zoho Desk based on tags included in the comment body.

* Enter a space separated list of tags
* Only Jira comments containing **at least one** of the specified tags will be published to Zoho Desk
* If left empty, all comments (based on Privacy setting) will sync

#### Example

```
#zoho
```

Only Jira comments containing `#zoho` will be synced.

Multiple tags example:

```
#zoho #zohodesk #support
```

Comment containing at least one of these tags will be published.
