Comments	Any annotation that a user writes and is associated with the event. Can be viewed either on the comment or audit tab of the event.
Actions	This shows the results of an action that has been run while the event was open.
Previous Events	Two things are shown on this tab. A duplicate is an event that has the same event properties as the original and therefore is classified as a duplicate.
