About This Feature
Overview
Comments is a document review feature in WPS Writer for Windows. It lets you add feedback, keep discussion threads next to document content, and manage review status without changing the main text.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert a comment to add feedback to selected text.
- Reply to a comment to continue a discussion thread.
- Resolve a comment to mark a discussion as completed, and restore it later if needed.

This feature is useful for document review, collaborative feedback, revision notes, and final checks before sharing or publishing a file.
