About This Feature
Overview
Comment History helps you review comments that have already been marked as resolved in a document. It is useful for tracing collaboration decisions, checking earlier discussion results, and reopening a comment thread when follow-up is needed.
On iOS, you can open Comment History from the More (☰) menu in the document editing screen. After you find a resolved comment that needs more discussion, use Reopen to bring that thread back into the document.
