Another feature that allows for easy collaboration in Google Documents is the ‘Comment Feature’. This feature allows me to highlight a particular text and comment on it, for clarification or questions. It’s really very easy.

First, highlight the desired text (can be a word, phrase, sentence).

Now you can add your comment. There are 4 ways in which to access the ‘Comment Feature’:

1.  From the Tool Bar icon

 

 

2. ‘Insert’ option on Tool Bar

3. Keyboard Shortcut

 

 

4. Gray Comments button next to Share button on top right.

 

 

 

 

A yellow comment box will appear to the  right of the document. This is where you will type your comment.

 

 

 

 

If more than one comment is on the document, and you are unsure of which comment goes to which highlight, simply click on either the comment or the highlighted section. If the highlighted text is chosen, then the comment will ‘pop up’ and show in the yellow box. If the comment is chosen, the highlighted text will become a darker yellow.

When you have finished making your comment, be sure to chose the blue comment button.
