Google Docs is a popular online word processing platform that allows users to collaborate on documents in real-time.
One of its most useful features is the ability to add comments to the document, which can be used to provide feedback, suggestions, or clarification.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of adding or hiding comments in Google Docs.
Opening the Document
To start, log in to your Google account and open the document you wish to add or hide comments in.
Adding a Comment
To add a comment, highlight the text you wish to comment on, right-click and select “Comment.”
This will open a comment box where you can type your comment. To save the comment, simply click on “Post.”
The comment will appear in the right-hand margin of the document, next to the text you commented on.
Hiding a Comment
To hide a comment, simply click on the comment in the margin.
This will reveal a menu with the option to “Resolve” or “Delete” the comment.
To hide the comment, select “Resolve.”
The comment will still be accessible in the document, but it will no longer appear in the right-hand margin.
Viewing Hidden Comments
To view a hidden comment, click on the “Show resolved comments” button in the top right-hand corner of the document.
This will reveal a list of all the resolved comments in the document.
To return to the document, simply click on the “Close” button.
Conclusion
In conclusion, adding and hiding comments in Google Docs is a simple and straightforward process that can be used to provide feedback, suggestions, or clarification in real-time.
Whether you are a tech blogger, programmer, software developer, or technical writer, this feature can help streamline your collaboration process and improve the quality of your work.
The above steps were tested on Google Docs as of February 2023, and Google may change its interface in the future.
