Leaving Inline Comments

Inline comments let teammates review a Script without rewriting the document directly. Like Google Docs comments, each thread stays attached to a specific passage and can be resolved when the conversation is finished.

Comments now live in the Comments tab of the Script sidebar.

If your Script has tabs, each comment belongs to the tab it was left on. The sidebar shows comments for the tab you're on, and each tab shows its own open-comment count in the tab bar. See Split the Script into tabs.

Add a comment

1. Select the text
   Highlight the sentence, phrase, or paragraph that needs discussion.
2. Open the composer
   Use the comment action in the editor controls or right-click the selection.
3. Write the feedback
   Ask a question, request a change, mention a teammate, or explain the decision needed.
4. Continue in the sidebar
   The Comments tab opens automatically so the team can reply in the thread.
5. Resolve it
   Resolve the thread after the edit or decision is complete.

Selecting highlighted text or its comment card keeps the passage and conversation connected. Resolved threads stop crowding the active review queue without removing the Script text.

Comment on an image

Click an image to select it, then use the comment button in the toolbar. The image gets an outline so the team knows there's feedback on it, and clicking the image opens its thread.

See resolved comments

Resolving a thread clears it from the document, but it isn't gone. In the Comments tab, switch from Open to Resolved to see every thread resolved on this tab, along with who resolved it and when. Choose Reopen to bring one back. Its highlight returns in the document.
