InDesign provides intuitive commenting tools that stakeholders can use to share their feedback. As a stakeholder, you can review the shared document when you receive:
- A private link through a Creative Cloud notification and an email.
- A public link through any of the communication channels.

A. | Pin tool | Use pin tool to pin or move your comments to indicate specific objects in the design. |
B. | Highlight text | Select the text from the document and click this tool to highlight the text. |
C. | Strikethrough text | Select the text from the document and click this tool to strikethrough the text. |
D. | Replace text | Choose the section in the document where you want to replace text, click this tool and start adding the content. |
E. | Drawing tool | Mark free form annotations using colors. |
F. | @mentions | Use @ to mention a user while adding comments. If you use this option, the mentioned reviewer receives a notification in email and in Creative Cloud application. When you click the notification, you can access the referenced comment section in the design. |
Before you start commenting on a shared document, refresh the browser window to view the latest updates made to the design.
After you receive your InDesign document, open the document in a browser, and use pin or drawing tools to provide feedback to the designer. When working with a public link, you can also respond as a guest if you choose to do so.
Adobe recommends that a reviewer creates an Adobe ID before adding comments to manage the comments better.
If your comments are incorrectly marked as resolved, click More Options ... and select Move to Unresolved.
