      How do I add and reply to comments within a document?

      Collaborate, engage, and make notes on documents with your team using the Lumin comment tool.

      Adding a Comment

      1. From the Popular or Annotations categories, select the Comment tool on the toolbar.
      2. Click anywhere on the page where you want to add a comment. A comment icon and a text entry box will appear.
      3. Type your comment and then, click Comment.

      NOTE: To tag your teammate, type @ and then their name. Your tagged teammate will receive a notification email alerting them to the comment and prompting them to respond.

      e.g. @lori@luminpdf.com


      TIP: To edit, delete, or change the icon color of your comment, click the three dots on the right of the comment entry box and select your options as required. 

       

      Replying to a Comment


      1. Click on the comment, or the icon and type your reply in the field underneath. 
      2. When you're done, select Reply.
      3. To resolve a comment and remove it from your view, select the check icon next to the three dots.

      NOTE: You can easily view and edit all the comments you or anyone has added to a document by opening the comment history from the toolbar. A panel will appear on the right with your comment history.


      Click inside a comment in the panel to add a reply note to the comment.

      Click inside a note in the panel, then click the three dots that appear on the right to edit or delete it. (Deleting it in the panel will also delete it from the document.)

      TIP:  When several people comment on a file, the responses are saved in a sequence below the first comment. (The flow of responses and comments in Lumin is the same as you see in Google Docs).

      TIP: You can select the Comment tool by pressing N on your keyboard.

      Tip: You can also add a comment to a document by writing the comment on the document in free text. Find out how here.
