Unleashing the Power of Comments
Comments are one of the most invaluable features that enable seamless collaboration on Google Docs. In this lesson, you’ll uncover the art of creating and responding to comments, identifying collaborators, and mastering the art of productive teamwork.
Creating a New Comment
Anyone with editor or commentator access to the Google document can create a comment. There are multiple ways to add a comment, but the easiest method is to select the text you want to comment on and click the button that magically appears on the right side of your screen.
The comment box will elegantly unfurl, allowing you to pour your thoughts into it. If you want to ensure that a specific person catches your comment, simply mention them using the @ symbol followed by their email address. Then, effortlessly select the person from your contact list.
Should you mention someone who doesn’t already have access to the document, Google will kindly request you to share the document with them before you can publish your brilliant comment.
When you mention someone, you have the option to gracefully assign the comment to them. Assigning a comment means entrusting them with the responsibility of marking it as done.
Once you’ve meticulously crafted your comment, don’t forget to click that satisfying “Comment” button.
Responding to Comments
Once a comment is added, anyone with commentator or editor access to the document can view it and craft their own response.
To elegantly reply to a comment, simply click on it to select it and type away. When you feel satisfied with your response, gracefully tap the “Reply” button.
Editing and Linking Comments
We all make mistakes, even when we’re engrossed in the flow of commenting. Fear not, for Google has got your back. If you happen to spot an error while typing a comment, gracefully click the three dots in the top right corner to access the divine options of “Edit” or “Delete”. Be mindful, though, as deleting a comment this way is final and irreversible.
If you happen to click the three dots next to the first comment in a thread, you’ll be blessed with the option to “Link to this comment”.
A magical dialog box will appear, allowing you to effortlessly copy the link and share it with others. This feature is a true lifesaver in lengthy documents with abundant comments, as it enables direct access to the relevant part of the document, even opening the comment thread.
The Chronicles of Comment History
Fear not, dear collaborators, for the resolution of discussions does not mark the end of comment existence. When you or your esteemed co-authors beautifully resolve the matter at hand, simply click the enchanting checkmark to close the discussion. The comment shall gracefully vanish, but fret not, for it shall still dwell in the wondrous realm of “Comment history”. You can access this realm by clicking the comment icon next to the share button, majestically stationed in the top right corner.
Within the realms of comment history, you shall witness both the active and the resolved comments coexisting harmoniously. Should you find the need to reopen a comment thread, simply summon the power bestowed upon you by clicking “Reopen”.
The comment history window also honors your desires to customize email notifications. At the summit of the window lies the sacred “Notifications” button, whereupon you can shape your preferences. By default, document owners receive notifications for every comment, while other users are graced with these notifications only when they are directly mentioned.
Comments possess an indomitable power within Google Docs, and wielding this power shall bestow you with the ability to collaborate more effectively on your forthcoming projects.
