Manage feedback for shared documents

As a designer, you can view and manage feedback received from stakeholders within InDesign. The comments you receive are linked to the relevant objects and pages in InDesign. 

Here is handy visual reference on managing stakeholder feedback from InDesign.

As a designer, you can view comments shared by the reviewers within InDesign. The Review panel displays a spread-wise list of comments with the spread number against each comment.

To view comments in InDesign, click Window > Comments > Review. 

• The Review panel launches automatically whenever you copy a link or add a reviewer in Share for Review dialog.
• If the Review panel is closed for a document which triggered it, the panel does not launch again when you copy a link or add a reviewer in the Share for Review dialog. 
   Share for Review dialog remains open when Review panel is launched using triggers like copy a link or add a reviewer.

Click each comment in the Review panel and click More options … icon to Reply, Resolve, or Delete individual comments. Click any comment to take you to the relevant area on the InDesign document. 

When you click:

• A comment: InDesign displays the objects associated with the comment. 
• An annotation on canvas: InDesign highlights the relevant comment in the Review panel. 
  

Show or hide annotations on the layout by using View button at the lower-right bottom of the panel.

• Reply to comments
  • Click Reply in the Review panel.
• Resolve, Edit, or Delete comments
  • Click More Options and select the corresponding option.
    When you delete a comment, all associated replies are deleted permanently. 

• Reference stakeholders using @ mention
  • When you use @mention to reference stakeholders, they are notified through the Creative Cloud app and email. 

Select Go to Review from the context menu.

Use filter icon to filter comments based on reviewer names, time, or status of comments. 

If comments have been incorrectly marked as resolved, click More Options ... and select Move to Unresolved.
