When working on a project together, it’s important to be able to communicate effectively. This can be done through clarifications or comments on documents, which can help everyone involved receive the information more clearly. ..

Google Docs allows comments to be a crucial part of some documents, and without them, collaborators and readers may find themselves confused to the point that they have to reach out for clarification. That creates a kink in the workflow.

Comments in Google Docs can also be set up as an assignment for resolution. As a collaborator, you can mark a comment as resolved to acknowledged that it has been taken care of. This way, everyone knows that the comment has been resolved and no one has to worry about it anymore.

Google Docs is a great tool for managing work and communication. However, it can be difficult to add and resolve comments in the app. Here’s how we can do it:

  1. Open Google Docs and sign in.
  2. Click on the three lines in the top left corner of the app, and then click on “Add Comment”.
  3. Enter your comment into the text field, and then click on “Add Comment” again.
  4. Click on “Save” to add your comment to a document.

Next, click on the pencil icon to start a new comment. Your comment will be based on the text you’ve just entered.

This is called a hyperlink. When you click on the hyperlink, you will be taken to a new page that is different from the one you were just reading.

Commenting on this article will allow you to share your thoughts with the rest of us.

Comment on the article: The article is well-written and provides a good overview of the topic. However, I found one glaring omission - the lack of mention of any potential solutions to the problem. For example, why are there no plans to provide more affordable housing? What are the alternatives?

Now that you know how to make a comment on a document, let’s talk about how to do it in a way that makes sense. First, you need to highlight the text that you want to comment on. Then, click on the “comment” button at the bottom of the document. You’ll see three options: “Comment on This Page,” which will take you to the page where your comment will be displayed; “Comment on This Line of Text,” which will take you to the line where your comment is located; and “Comment on All Pages,” which will take you to all of the pages in your document. If you want your comment to be displayed on all of them, select this option. If you only want it displayed on one page (like this one), select “Comment on This Page.” Finally, enter your comments in the text field below and hit enter.

How to Resolve Comments in Google

Docs

You can either:

  1. Post a response.
  2. Delete the comment.
  3. Flag the comment for review.

Commenting on the document is easy: just click on a comment or highlighted section to bring it to the foreground. You can reply or resolve the comment, if you have permissions.

If you find that you’ve made a mistake while adding a comment, please try to fix it before deleting it. If you can’t fix the mistake, please delete the comment and start a new thread to continue discussing the issue.

The Resolve button will also effectively delete the comment, but it has special distinctions. Deleted comments are not added to Google Docs’ comment history, but resolved comments are. Resolved comments can also be brought back to the document.

If you want to leave a comment on a document that you’ve already read, click on the speech bubble icon and then type your comment. If you want to leave a new comment, click on the speech bubble icon and then start typing. ..

This area will keep track of comments and comment resolutions. You can see in the screenshot above that your time of resolution is timestamped, which can be very helpful to collaborators.

Resolving comments also gives other collaborators an opportunity to re-open the discussion if they’ve determined that more needs to be done or that the comment wasn’t resolved. Again, simply deleting a comment once you believe you’ve resolved it will not present others with these options and will not record it to your document’s comment history.

Google Doc Comments let you create small discussion areas within your document, which can be a major difference-maker in determining if your project is finished today or tomorrow.

If you’re not a Google Docs user, though, don’t worry—Microsoft Word also supports comments, and you can check out our article on how to collaborate on a Microsoft Word document for more information. ..
