    • If you don't see it, click the expand arrow.

  2. To see comments and changes in the Review pane, click Review.
  3. To add a new comment, select text in the editor pane and click Add Comment.
  4. If there are multiple comments, you can limit the list to find the one you need:

    1. To limit the list to comments and changes that contain a word or phrase, type it in the Filter box.
    2. To use an explicit filter, type in a query using the following syntax:

      filter : value

      Filter options include:

      • author. Name of the user who added the comment or made the change. For example: author:Jane
      • type. A review action taken by a user. Options include comment, change, highlight, insert, delete. For example: type:comment Please add

    4. To see the following text on screen, click the information icon.

      Type any word to filter review items.

      Alternatively, you can use explicit filters for a more fine grained control.

      • author:Jim type:highlight
      • @Jane type:comment

    (reply, edit, remove, mark as done)

  7. If there are multiple comments, you can accept or reject them all at once by going to the bottom of the Review pane and selecting either Accept All or Reject All.
