Replying to comments is useful in shared reviews, when participants can read each other’s comments. They can also be used by review initiators to let reviewers know how their suggestions are being implemented. All replies appear in the pop-up note and are listed below the original comment. You can view the respective reply with the reply title and mark. See also About pop-up notes.

Set a status

Setting a status is useful for keeping track of comments that you have read or that require further action. You can use the status to indicate which comments you want to accept, reject, cancel, complete, defer, or mark for future consideration.

• Select Cut from the right-click menu, or press Ctrl + X.
• You are now ready to paste.

Copy comments

1. Select the Select Annotation command, the Hand command, or a commenting tool. 
2. As you put the cursor over a comment, the cursor changes to a solid arrow .

The comments panel displays all comments in the PDF so that you can easily find the comments. In addition, it also provides a toolbar with basic options: Expand All, Collapse All, Previous, Next, Sort By, Hide/Show all comments, Search box, and Filter.

In the Properties dialog box for each comment, there are two options:

Most comments (except Typewriter, Callout, Text Box, and Eraser) include a pop-up note associated with them. You can type text message in their pop-up notes to communicate ideas or provide feedback for the document (See also Reply to comments). This type of pop-up note also includes an Options button which provides various options for more actions.
