For more information, see:\n\n- [Exporting ticket events](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api#exporting-ticket-events) in [Using the Incremental Exports API](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api)\n- [Time-based incremental exports](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api#time-based-incremental-exports) in [Using the Incremental Exports API](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/using-the-incremental-export-api)\n\nYou can include comments in the event stream by using the `comment_events`\nsideload. See Sideloading below. If you don't specify the sideload, any comment\npresent in the ticket update is described only by Boolean `comment_present`\nand `comment_public` object properties in the event's `child_events` array.\nThe comment itself is not included.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n * Admins\n\n#### Sideloading\n\nThe endpoint supports the `comment_events` sideload.
