When you edit or review a presentation, you can create
comments for the slide, or graphics, images, and text boxes on a slide.
All comments and responses for the presentation are displayed on in
the collaboration sidebar. You can take actions on comments, such
as reply, resolve, delete, and so on.
About this task
The comments you create stay associated with the content
they refer to. A comment marker is displayed next to the border box
of the object that it refers to, and multiple comment markers are
displayed on the same object stacked vertically. You can also add
comments in the page level, but there will not be comment marker.
The collaboration sidebar acts as a record of all comments in the
presentation where you can easily see the most recent comments and
responses.
Procedure
To create comments for the presentation, follow these
steps:
- Click a slide in the Slides view
and click where you want to insert a comment.

and is also displayed in the sidebar with your name and the date and
time the comment was created.
Tip: If
you want to direct the comment at a co-editor, enter the @ symbol.
A list of editors of the presentation is displayed. Select the editor
that you want from the list, and then enter your comment. When a comment
is directed at you, you receive a notification in the @ Mentions section
of IBM Connections™ Cloud and in an
email, if specified by your Connections Cloud notifications

to open the in-text comment box where you can reply, resolve, or delete
