Replying to Comments and Changes

To start, or contribute to a discussion thread, it is possible to use the ‘Reply’ option from the action's menu icon () or the quick reply to icon () which appears in the1 top right corner of a comment/proposed change when you hover over the comment/proposed change.

Clicking the ‘Reply’ option from the action's menu or the quick reply to icon on a comment or proposed change will open a comment area where text can be entered.
Once applied, the reply will display as a discussion thread:

• Once a comment/proposed change is ‘Accepted’, ‘Closed’ or ‘Withdrawn’, no further discussions are possible, and the ‘Reply’ option will not be available.
• All discussion threads are recorded in the reconciliation report (see The Reconciliation Report for more information).
• Discussion threads on comments/proposed changes in PDF documents will display at the same level in the document download. This is because annotations in PDF documents cannot display nested or multi-level replies.
• If the comment box is minimized, the number of replies will be identified.
