Adding Comments

Comments let you leave notes, suggestions, and feedback without changing the main content of the document. They are useful for collaboration, review, and follow-up during editing. Comments also remain attached to the document until they are resolved or deleted.  
 Adding a comment 
 You can add a comment to selected text or content when you want to ask a question, suggest a change, or leave feedback for another user. Comments can be added from the toolbar or by using a keyboard shortcut.  
 Using the menu 
 
 Select the text or content you want to comment on. 
 Open the Insert tab, click Collaboration tab and choose Add Comment 

 
 
 Type your comment in the comment box or side panel. 
 Add the comment to post it.

 Comments can appear next to the document content or inside the comments panel. This makes it easier to follow discussions and jump back to the exact place where feedback was left.

 see who wrote the comment 
 reply to the comment 
 resolve or delete the comment

 You can open the comments panel to see all comments in one place.
