Add a comment to specific text in a Doc to share feedback or start a discussion without modifying the Doc content.

Before you begin

Create a Doc in CWM.

Role required: sn_cwm.cwm_user

About this task

You can add comments to plain text, hyperlinks, dynamic data, and text inside table cells. Comments are not supported on images, empty table cells, or selections that include multiple table cells. You can mention users using @ in comments and add text and hyperlinks. You can't mention a table or an image in comments.

Overlapping comments on the same text aren't supported. To add to an existing discussion on already-commented text, reply to the existing thread instead. For more information, see Manage comments in Docs.

Note:

Users can add and manage comments if they have read-only access to a document.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Workspaces > Collaborative Work Management.
2. From the Spaces menu, navigate to the Space where your Doc is located and open it.

   

3. Select the text you want to comment on.
4. Select the Add comments icon from the inline toolbar.

   

5. In the comment popover, provide your comment.

   

6. Select Post.

Result

The selected text is highlighted with a yellow underline, indicating that a comment has been added. Email notifications are sent to users who are @-mentioned in the comment.
