Adding Comments on Content

Comments are how a review team gives feedback in Papercurve. Each comment is attached to the place it is about, so nobody has to describe where a change is needed, and every reply stays with the comment it answers.

You can comment on the current version of a draft. There are four ways to start.

Comment on selected text

1. Select the text you want to comment on. A small menu appears under your selection.

2. Click the comment icon, the first in the menu. The text is highlighted and the Comments panel opens.

3. Type your comment and click Send.

Comment with a pin

Use a pin when there is no text to select, such as on an image or a chart.

1. Click the pin icon in the toolbar above your content and choose Pin a Comment.

2. Click the spot on the page. An orange pin is placed and the Comments panel opens.

3. Type your comment and click Send.

You can also draw a shape around an area and comment on it. See Pins and Shapes and Markup Tools.

General comments

A general comment is about the content as a whole and is not attached to a place on the page.

1. Click Comments in the side panel.

2. Under General Comments, click Create General Comment.

3. Type your comment and click Send. General comments are kept in one thread at the top of the list.

Replying

To reply, open the comment, type in the message box and click Send. Your reply is added to the same thread, under the comments before it.

To bring a comment to one person’s attention, mention them. See Adding Mentions to Comments.
