Filtering and Sorting Comments
You can filter comments in the comment management panel. For example, you can show or hide comments, display open or closed comments, or display or hide a user’s comments.
To filter and sort comments:
- In the Performance Reporting ribbon, click the Refresh Comments button to see new comments and replies.
- Optional: Click the Hide Anchor or Show Anchor button to hide or display the comment anchors in the review instance.
Hide Anchor displays by default the first time you open a review instance, meaning that anchors are currently showing.
After clicking Hide Anchor, the button toggles to Show Anchor.
Anchors display throughout the review instance and mark the location where comments are entered. Anchors are signified by a pushpin icon. In Figure 18-42, an anchor is circled in a portion of the review instance.
