This topic describes how to view comments in the Editor view. Comments are displayed in the Comments window and the text the comments refer to is highlighted in the Editor window.
Comments are displayed in the Comments window. In the default profile, the window is automatically opened when you open a file.
To view comments in the Comments window:
If the window is already open, click the Comments tab to display it in the Editor view.
If the window is not open, select View > Comments from the menu bar in the Editor view to display it.
By default, the window shows comments for the active document only. To see comments that have been added to all open documents, click the Show comments for active document only button. Click the button again to switch back to showing comments for the active document only.
Comments can be classed as information, errors or warnings. By default, all severity levels are shown in the Comments window. However, there are toggle buttons for each severity level which allow you to display or hide comments for that severity level. For example, to hide any comments with the severity level Error, click the Error button. To display the comments again, click the Error button again.
If a comment has multiple versions, only the latest version is shown. Click the comment to display all earlier versions of the comment below the latest version.
Comments are highlighted in colored text in the Editor window.
Comments can be classed as information, errors or warnings. By default, the following highlighting is used:
Information comments are highlighted in pale yellow.
Warnings are highlighted in pale orange.
Errors are highlighted in pale red.
You can navigate through your document by moving from one segment with a comment to the next segment with a comment or by moving from comment to comment.
