Can I comment on a specific line, page or moment in a Delta Drive file?

\n

Short answer: Yes. In the browser viewer, comments can point at lines, pages, areas, video moments, cells or highlighted text, become tasks with due dates, @mention people who can open the file, and feed a review status like Approved.

\n

Yes. In the browser viewer a comment can point at a line or lines, a page, an area or point on a page or slide, a moment in a video, spreadsheet cells, a paragraph or highlighted text. If that text later disappears, the comment says so.

\n
  • Reply, react, and edit your own comments; Resolve threads when done.
  • Turn a comment into a Task or a Checklist with an assignee and a due date, and filter by Open, Resolved, Mine, Mentions or overdue tasks.
  • @mention someone who can already open the file — they're emailed; a mention never reaches anyone who can't open it.
  • Suggest a change, copy a link to a comment, and set the file's review status: Not reviewed, In review, Approved or Changes requested.
