Placing comments within a document is really mainstream.
I see it all the time.
On the Review ribbon, there's an entire group called Comments.
Right now the Show Comments is activated, and if I turn it on,
turn it off, nothing happens because there are no comments in the document yet.
Notice, I do have a button for a New Comment.
I'll go ahead and click that.
Since I was clicked on one word, I can now place a comment,
start a conversation right over here on the right hand side.
It does give me a tip, Press Ctrl+Enter to post.
Notice, I also have a little paper airplane here that says, Post Comment,
or the X to cancel this.
I'll go ahead and post this.
Two things happened, I got a pink rim right over here.
If the user of this document wants to type me a reply,
we can start a conversation back and forth.
And it's all held in this one little call out symbol.
Coming back up to the top, I can turn off the Show Comments button,
the panel in a way that the icon stay right over here.
When I flip my mouse on it, it does highlight the word in question, and
it has the Go to Comment tooltip.
So when I click this, it will open up again.
All right, lets click more comments in here.
I'll go ahead and select the next phrase.
And this time, my minibar immediately pops up.
And right in the middle is a button that says, New Comment,
saves me from having to travel all the way up to the top to hit New Comment.
Okay, I'll click this one.
I'll type a note, and I'll send that.
Well, basically, I'll post it.
Let's do a third one.
And I'll post that as well.
When I come up to the Review ribbon Comments,
I can turn off the Show Comments button, and I can send this off.
So whoever's going to review this, look at us, or reply to my comments,
they simply click on each one, type a reply, post it.
And now a conversation has begun that can be reviewed at any time.
Notice also, when I'm clicked into this box,
there's a pencil off to the side where I can edit this comment.
Also, a dot, dot, dot where I can Link to a Comment or Delete the Comment.
If you come up to the Show Comments button, we have Contextual Comment,
which is what I'm seeing on the right hand side.
Or you can click on List, which will basically stack them together.
As you click through each box,
it will highlight in pink which one is affiliated to it.
All right, at this point, I'm kind of done with this.
I've reviewed all the comments.
I can click Previous, Previous, Next, Next, or
I can hit the dropdown arrow on Delete.
Delete them individually, or Delete all Comments, Delete All Resolved.
I'm going to Delete All Comment.
Turn off the Show Comments button.
And we're done with this.
Oftentimes, you might receive a document that does have the little icons on
the right hand side, and people are just stymied how to turn that off.
You would just have to note, to hit the Review ribbon, come in here and
on the Show Comments, you can turn those off or on.
But basically, you need to resolve them all before those icons actually leave
the side of the margin of your paper.
