Now What?
Leaving a Comment on Text Using the Toolbar
Select text in your specification or claims and click the Add Comment control in the toolbar.
Note that unlike Word, comments cannot be anchored to a point between text characters and add options are disabled if no text is selected.
The text selection will be highlighted and a comment bubble will appear to the right side of your application, labeled with your initials.
You may need to resize your window if the comment bubble is not visible on your screen.
Type the desired text in the resulting comment bubble.
Click the green checkmark to apply your comment.
If you neglect to click the green checkmark, your comment will be applied when you click anywhere else in your application.
If you change your mind and do not wish to leave your comment, click the red "x" to cancel it.
If you need to make additional changes to your comment text, click the Edit pencil icon in the comment bubble, and type and apply (or cancel) your changes as above.

Right+click your selected text.

Leaving a Comment on a Preview Figure
Navigate to the drawing previews at the bottom of the main application window and locate the figure you wish to comment on.
Click on the Comment control above the preview.
Click anywhere on the preview to place a comment icon where desired.
The comment icon will appear where you clicked. A comment bubble will appear to the right side of the application window.
You may need to resize your window if the comment bubble is not visible.
Type, apply, edit, or cancel your comment as above.
Note that comments cannot be applied in the Drawing Tool, though text stencils can be added to a sheet to include on-canvas comments if desired.
