You and people you’re sharing your presentation with can add comments to text, objects, charts, and slides. Comments are useful for making notes to yourself, asking questions of reviewers, conveying editorial suggestions, and so on.
You can also highlight text and then add a comment to it.
When you don’t want comments and highlights to be visible, you can hide them.
Commented text uses a color unique to the comment’s author. Any text, objects, and table cells with comments have a comment marker.
Do one of the following:
Add a comment to text or an object: Select text, or tap an object, then tap Comment.
Add a comment to the slide: Tap an empty area of the slide, then tap Comment.
Enter a comment, then tap outside the comment to close it.
To read a comment, tap the comment marker. To remove the comment, tap Delete in the comment.
Tap
in the toolbar, then tap Settings.
Tap Author Name, then enter a name.
The author name appears in the upper-left corner of the comments.
You can highlight text in text boxes and shapes, then add comments to it. You can’t highlight text in tables, but you can add comments to table cells.
Select text, then tap Highlight.
To add a comment, tap outside the highlight, then tap to select the highlight.
Type your comment.
To remove a highlight, select the text, then tap Remove Highlight. To remove a highlight that has a comment, tap the comment marker, then tap Delete in the comment.
Tap
in the toolbar, tap Settings, then turn Comments on or off.
