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.
