Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Question about resolving comments
Hi Toni,I have to admit that you are much more observant than I am. I had not noticed the change in Writer's comments menu. In previous versions (eg. 5.4) there was a comment option to "Reply", which added a comment linked to the existing one. If that option still existed it would better serve your purpose of notifying subsequent reviewers. Our guides offer no indication about the intended purpose of this "Resolve" option and searching several possible resources uncovers no information. I will make a more thorough search through past release notes to see if they offer any clue.Maybe it is time for an enhancement/reversion request bug report, or we can simply ignore the "Resolve" option and just add more text to the existing comment.Kind RegardsDave From: Toni B [mailto:trblack5...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2020, 19:35 UTC To:Dave Barton Cc:documentation@global.libreoffice.orgSubject:[libreoffice-documentation] Question about resolving comments Hi Dave,Thank you for your reply!

[libreoffice-documentation] Question about resolving comments
Good afternoon! I noticed if resolve a comment, save the Writer file, exit then reopen the file, the comment has become "unresolved". Should I be deleting the comments instead? Thanks for you help.
