When you edit or review a document, you can create comments
that help you to collaborate with other editors. All comments and
responses for the document are displayed in the collaboration sidebar.
About this task
The comments you create stay associated with the content
they refer to. The collaboration sidebar acts as a record of all comments
in the document so that you can easily see the most recent comments
and responses.
Procedure
To create comments and responses for the document, follow
these steps:
- Click where you want to insert a comment.
- Click or click the Comment button
on the
toolbar. A new comment box is displayed.
- Type your comment in the field, and click Post.
The comment stays associated with the location in the document and
is also displayed in the sidebar with your name and the date and time
the comment was created.
Tip: If you want to direct the comment at a co-editor, enter
the @ symbol. A list of editors of the document is displayed. Select
the editor that you want from the list, and then enter your comment.
When a comment is directed at you, you receive a notification in the
@ Mentions section of Connections and an email,
if specified by your Connections notifications
settings.
- To interact with a comment, click it in the sidebar to
open an in-text comment box where you can reply, resolve, or delete
the comment. You can also display the in-text comment box for an active
comment by hovering over the corresponding highlighted text. You can
