# Working with comments

> How to attach a comment to a passage to mark what needs fixing, carry it on with replies, and resolve it once the change is in.

A remark that comes to you while revising — "this name differs from the previous chapter" — becomes one more thing to delete later if you write it into the body. A comment attaches to that passage alone, without touching the manuscript.

## Attaching a comment to a passage

Select a sentence and press **Add comment** on the inline toolbar that appears. In a document it is in the right-click menu as well. Run it without a selection and all you get is "Select text to comment on".

The **Comments** panel opens on the right, with the chosen passage quoted above an input box. Write and press **Comment**, and a mark stays on the passage. `Ctrl + Enter` (`Cmd + Enter` on Mac) posts it too, and `Esc` is **Cancel**.

Click a marked passage and the panel moves to that comment; click a card and the view goes to that spot in the body.

## Carrying it on with replies

Write in the **Reply…** field below the card and press **Reply**, and the conversation stacks up on the same passage.

**Edit** and **Delete** show only on comments you wrote. Once you edit one, **edited** appears beside the name. Delete down to the last one and the whole thread goes.

## Resolving and reopening

Once the change is in, press **Resolve**. The mark in the body disappears and the card folds into the **Resolved (3)** group at the bottom of the list. Expand it and press **Reopen** to bring the mark back. To keep a record, resolve rather than **Delete comment**.

## Detached comments

Delete or undo a passage that carries a comment and the card turns into a **Detached comment**, marked **\[detached — text removed]**, and drops to the bottom of the open comment list, above the resolved group. The content stays, so you can read it and then delete it.

Sheets work the same way, and the comment button in the header also opens and closes the panel. It cannot be used in folder view.
