Are update (comment) IDs unique across an entire monday.com instance, or are they unique per workspace or board?

Update (comment) IDs in Monday.com are globally unique across the entire account (instance) — not just unique per workspace or board.

This means:

  • Each update (comment) is assigned a unique ID that does not repeat anywhere in your Monday.com account.
  • You can use that ID to retrieve or reference the update directly via the API, regardless of which board or workspace it’s on.

This is consistent with how Monday.com structures their data model — most entities like items, updates, users, etc., have globally unique IDs for easy tracking and integration.

Let me know if you need help querying them via the API. or if this helped let me know with a like!
