Create a comment where the issue occurs

Select the text that needs feedback and choose New Comment on the Review tab. A focused comment is easier to understand than a general note disconnected from the passage it discusses. Other reviewers can reply in the same thread, keeping the question and response together instead of spreading the conversation across separate messages or unrelated document locations.

Resolve a completed discussion or delete it deliberately

Resolving a comment marks the issue as addressed while retaining the thread for reference. Deleting removes it, which serves a different purpose. A resolved comment can be reopened when the issue needs further attention, whereas a deleted thread is no longer available in the same way. Choose the action according to the review process, and use any all-comments deletion command carefully when the discussion history still has value.
