Inline Editor Options

The icon displaying to the right of the inline editor enables additional options:

Formatting

To apply formatting changes to text, select ‘Formatting’ from the   icon of the inline editor. The formatting toolbar opens:

Formatting changes are treated as a proposed change.

Show Paragraph History

The ‘Show Paragraph History’ option will display the original paragraph text including original Microsoft Word comments, tracked changes, and tracked moves, and all comments and proposed changes on a paragraph. This option is also available from the action's menu.

Attaching a File

A file may be attached using the inline editor – there is no need to enter any comments or proposed changes to attach a file.
To attach a file, select ‘Attach a file’ from the   icon of the inline editor. The browse option opens allowing a file to be selected.
Once applied the attached file is displayed in the comment box to the right of the document:

Comment Categorisation

If enabled, Reviewers may categorize a comment or proposed change. This is achieved by selecting the comment category from the drop-down box:

Here are some things to note about Comment Categorisation:

•  Comment categories are system configurable and therefore may not be present or the list displayed may be specific to your system.
• There can be multiple levels of sub-categories configured (for example, Typo/Spelling; Typo/Grammar and so on).
• Comment categories can be edited/added by your System Administrator.
• Comment categories can be mandatory. If so, comments/changes cannot be applied until a category has been selected.

Features Presented in the Classic Interface Only

Feedback documents will be presented in the classic interface only.
