The agenda items are marked by numbers, while the agenda documents are marked by letters. You can open a document from the meeting agenda by tapping on it. The document appears next to the agenda.

6. Comments 

When reading meeting materials to prepare important discussions, a meeting participant can use the comment function to discuss among participants before the meeting takes place. Thanks to this asynchronous process, individual preparation time is used more collaboratively and effectively and the meeting itself can focus on the relevant discussion points only.

When writing a comment, select if you want it to be public or private. By default all comments are public to foster collaboration and transparency. Use the @-sign to mention specific meeting participants in public comments. Doing this will let them know that they have been mentioned.
