menu and select Objectives.
2. Click the Contribution Request Pending banner at the top of the screen and select View Request.

Note: You may be asked to contribute to some or all of the objective's key results.
4. Optionally add a comment by clicking Conversation to open the team objective conversation. Enter your comment and then click the Post button.

In this case, all users may reply to and like Conversation comments. This only applies to the Conversation side panel within Team Details for an objective, not for Conversations in the 1-1 module.
