2. With one row for each document card - The information to the latest revision to document card is shown with one line per document card. The mother comment will be shown with one row per document card.
3.  With one comment for each linked document with revision - The information to all revisions connected to the comment will be shown. The mother comment will be shown with one row per revision.

Comment details

When selecting a comment, a new pane will open on the right-hand side that contains the comment replies including any attachment to the replies.

 

Comment reply

To reply to a comment, click ‘New reply’ to open the reply tool.

Add the reply text and if needed add one or multiple attachments and click on send to submit the reply. The total file size limit is 50 Mb.

Please note that this is not intended for submitting revisions, this should be performed on normal document send task.

 

 

 

Import comment replies

 To import multiple comment replies, use the import replies tool:

As defined in the information box the excel file must contain the two columns "CommentId" and "CommentReply". The position of these columns is entirely up to the user, but the heading must be on the first two rows for the tool to be able to find the columns.

After the Excel file is uploaded all the comment replies from the file is shown in a preview window:

The preview window shows the comment ID and title. Attachments can be added to the reply by using the ‘Add’ button. To see the filename of the uploaded attachment, move the cursor over the paperclip icon. The comment replies can be edited or deleted in this preview window before the import. When the review of the comments is done, start the import and a status column will appear where you will see the status of the import:

 When the import is completed, the status is shown on each row and there is a summary at the bottom that shows the total status of the import. If one import fails, a typical reason is that the exact comment reply already exists for the current comment which is not allowed.

After the import is completed, just close the preview window.
