# Comments & tracked changes

## Comments

Comments anchor to selected text. Start one from the sidebar composer or the inline popover at the selection — both produce the same anchored, threaded comment. Every thread supports **Reply**, **Resolve**, and **Delete**, plus an **Internal / Client** visibility toggle.

![Selecting text, commenting with the Internal / Client toggle, replying, resolving, and finding the thread under Resolved](https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2Fy6RPVg7feUFGFi3Qmrvy%2Finline-comment-demo-v2.gif?alt=media)

| Action           | Who can do it                                | What it does                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Reply            | Anyone with comment access                   | Adds a response inside the thread, visible to everyone who can see that comment.             |
| Resolve          | PM, or the comment's author                  | Marks the thread addressed. Moves to the Resolved tab, stays fully visible, can be reopened. |
| Reopen           | PM, or the comment's author                  | Moves a resolved thread back to Open.                                                        |
| Delete           | PM, or the comment's author                  | Removes the comment entirely.                                                                |
| Add a screenshot | Anyone commenting on the live survey preview | Attaches a captured image of the current survey page to the comment.                         |

PMs can resolve and delete any comment. Clients can resolve and delete only comments they authored. A resolved comment shows a **Resolved** badge with who resolved it and when.

## Tracked changes

Every accepted suggestion or direct edit is logged — old text struck through, new text added — with author and timestamp. Approving a change records it against the version that will carry it; the document itself only changes when the version is frozen.

![Deleting a phrase, the tracked change appearing in the Changes tab with author and time, approving it, and approving all open changes](https://1402057010-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgtHd8o9ldznZ1hKHiZvc%2Fuploads%2F38EFllvtzCsyUoagbUpA%2Ftracked-changes-demo-v2.gif?alt=media)

{% hint style="info" %}
**The version-boundary rule.** Freezing a version locks all accepted changes: anything applied before the freeze folds into the new baseline and shows as *Sent to Programming* or *Programmed* to anyone opening the new live version. Unresolved comments carry forward; resolved ones remain under Comments → Resolved.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.metaforms.ai/project-manager-collaboration/comments-and-tracked-changes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
