Writing

Use comments, review states, and approvals

Separate manuscript text from discussion and make editorial decisions traceable.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Select the relevant text before adding a comment so feedback remains anchored.

  2. 2

    Assign the comment or task when a specific contributor owns the next action.

  3. 3

    Resolve discussion only after the manuscript change or decision is recorded.

  4. 4

    Use a snapshot before a substantial revision or approval round.
