About This Feature
Overview
Comments let you add notes and feedback to a document without changing the main body text. This is useful for review, collaboration, and feedback workflows.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert comments to annotate selected text.
- Reply to comments to continue a discussion thread.
- Resolve comments to mark a discussion as handled, with the option to reopen it.
- Delete comments individually or remove all comments in the document.
- Show or hide comments to control what appears while reading.
Common use cases include document review, team collaboration, teaching feedback, and editorial discussion. This feature helps you keep feedback attached to specific content while leaving the main text unchanged.
