If you have created PDFs from your InDesign document and shared them for review, you can import comments from the reviewed PDFs right into your document and manage the feedback with ease. You can accept comments and mark them as resolved or unresolved. Selecting a comment also highlights the section in the document where the comment is applicable.
Note:
For the correct mapping of comments, ensure that the InDesign document is not edited after creating the PDF for review.

- Type of comment
- Name of the reviewer
