Comments

Need to leave feedback, ask questions, or workshop ideas with your collaborators? Ellipsus supports inline commenting, with a few features that make it different from traditional word processors!

In Ellipsus, comments can only be added to drafts—not to the main version of a document. This allows collaborators to leave feedback without directly altering the original document, and gives the document owner full control over how and when to incorporate edits.

How to leave a comment

1. Open the draft and navigate to the Comments panel on the right sidebar

2. Highlight the text you'd like to comment on

3. Type your comment in the space provided

4. Use formatting tools to bold, italicize, or underline text

5. Click Comment to submit

Your comment will now appear linked to that portion of the draft for others to see and respond to.

You can also reply to comments by writing in the prompt (Share your thoughts…) beneath an existing comment.

Add gifs to comments

Ellipsus lets you comment and reply to comments with GIFs (via Giphy integration). To add a GIF:

1. Open the comment input, and tap the GIF icon

2. Search for the perfect reaction

3. Tap to insert, with or without accompanying text

Commenting with multiple collaborators

You can invite as many collaborators as you'd like to a document.

• All collaborators can participate in the same draft, or separate drafts of their own.

• All collaborators can reply to comments.

• Only the document owner or collaborators with the Can merge role can resolve comments

• You can filter comments by individual collaborator, making it easier to sort feedback

Your comments are tagged with your display name and chosen icon—this is the only identifying information visible to others in the doc.

Comment notifications

The notification center—available from both the dashboard and editor (from the bell icon)—makes it easy to stay up to date on your comments.
