Anyone with view access can read comments. In the browser’s current-version view, anyone with edit access can add comments, reply, edit or delete the starting comment in a thread, and resolve or reopen threads. The browser has no control for editing or deleting a reply.

​
Add a comment

To add an anchored comment, select text, enter the comment in the popover, then select Save. For a Markdown document, select Global comment to add a comment without selected text. The current HTML viewer has no global-comment control. An anchored comment keeps its quoted text. If later edits remove that text, the thread remains in the panel as Unanchored.

​
Reply and resolve

Select Reply to add a one-level reply. Select Resolve when the thread is finished. A resolved thread stays visible and remains in the comment count, but it accepts no new replies until an editor selects Reopen. The panel can collapse older replies behind Show N earlier replies.

​
Comment on a historical version

A pinned ?version= view shows the current comment threads in the panel but does not mark their locations in the old document body. Comments are read-only in this view. Return to the latest version to comment or resolve.

​
Guest names

An anonymous guest can select Add your name or Continue as Guest. The name stays in that browser and has a limit of 64 Unicode code points. It is only a display label; Workspaces does not verify it as an identity. The guest control can show Guest · set your name when no name has been set.

​
Agent labels

An agent comment shows the agent label and on behalf of . Workspaces does not label an agent comment as You.

​
Editor permissions and deletion

Comment controls depend on document edit access, not authorship. Any editor can edit or delete another person’s starting comment and can resolve or reopen that thread. Deleting the starting comment also deletes all replies. There is no undo. Reviewed July 20, 2026. Maintained by the Plannotator documentation team.
