Inline commenting system for collaborative document editing and team discussions

Comments

Livedocs supports inline commenting so you and your team can discuss specific parts of a document without leaving the editor.


Commenting on a Cell

  • Hover over any cell and click the comment icon to open the comment panel for that cell.
  • Type your comment in the text box.
  • You can tag other members of your workspace using @username — they’ll be notified.

Collaboration in Context

Comments stay attached to the exact cell they reference, making it easier to:

  • Ask clarifying questions about a query or code block.
  • Suggest edits or improvements.
  • Flag issues for review.

Notifications

  • Tagged users receive notifications in Livedocs and via email (if enabled).
  • Clicking the notification takes them directly to the commented cell.

Best Practices

  • Be specific – Reference the exact part of the cell that needs attention.
  • Keep discussions focused – One topic per comment thread helps with clarity.
  • Resolve when done – Mark comment threads as resolved once addressed to keep the document tidy.
