Comments

Comments are a great way to deliver feedback without making direct edits. Comments can be created on both the Canvas and Document.

Note that a user must be logged in to leave a comment.

Comments on the canvas

Creating a comment on the canvas

Comments can be created anywhere on the canvas.

1. Click on the comment button in the canvas tool bar (or press C).
2. Click anywhere on the canvas where you want to create a comment.
3. Type a comment and click on the blue create comment button (or press Cmd/Ctr + Return).

Another way to create a comment is to select a canvas element and click on the comment button in the bottom property bar (or press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + M).

Moving a comment on the canvas

A comment can be moved simply by dragging the comment bubble to a new location.

Attaching a comment to a canvas element

A comment can be attached to a canvas element (e.g. shapes, diagrams, text) by either:

• Creating a comment on top of a canvas element OR
• Moving an existing comment on top of a canvas element

When a comment is attached to a canvas element, the comment will move with it when the element is moved.

Creating a comment on the document

Comments can be created on any text selection on the document.

3. Type a comment and click on the blue create comment button (or press Cmd/Ctr + Return).
