Comments are indicated with a small square in the left margin of the document or next to an object. In table cells, a small triangle appears in the corner of commented cells.
To remove a comment, click Delete in the comment pop-up or in the Comments & Changes sidebar on the left side of the Pages window (if it’s open).

You can quickly review comments in a document by navigating from one comment to the next. As you review, you can edit comments or delete them.

Read a comment: Move the pointer over the highlighted text or comment marker. If the Comments sidebar is open, click the comment marker, comment, or highlight, then read the comment in the sidebar.
Edit a comment: Click the comment marker, then edit the comment text in the pop-up. If the Comments sidebar is open, edit the comment in the sidebar.
Navigate from one comment to the next: Click the arrows in a comment pop-up or on the left side of the review toolbar to move to the previous or next comment. If changes are being tracked, you can navigate to changes and comments.
You can edit and review comments in the Comments sidebar on the left side of the Pages window. If you’re tracking changes in the document, these changes also appear in the sidebar (and the menu changes to Comments & Changes).
To open the Comments sidebar, click in the toolbar, then choose Show Comments Pane (or Show Comments & Changes Pane).
If change tracking is on, you can also click 
on the left side of the review toolbar. Click again to close the sidebar.
To change what’s shown in the sidebar, click View Options at the top of the sidebar to sort by page or date, filter comments by author, and hide comments or hide changes.
Here are some tips for working in the sidebar:
When you click a comment in the sidebar or a comment marker, comment, or highlight in the document, the sidebar or the document scrolls so you can see both.
The date on a comment doesn’t change when you edit the comment.
If you choose Sort by Date from View Options and want to reverse the order, choose Sort by Date again.
If you choose Sort by Document from View Options, the sidebar scrolls as you scroll the document.
If you filter comments by author so that your comments aren’t visible in the sidebar, then you add a comment, the filter switches back to Show All.
If a comment has a lot of text, it may be shortened in the sidebar. Double-click the comment to expand it.
You can drag the right edge of the sidebar to widen or narrow it.
You can change the size of the text in the sidebar and in comments in Pages > Preferences > General (from the Pages menu at the top of your screen). Click the Text Size pop-up menu and choose a size.
