Mark comments as done

Now in Word Web App you can mark comments as done whether you're reading a document or actively editing it. What you do first depends on whether you're in Reading View or Editing View. Documents open in Reading View.

In Reading View

1. Click a comment balloon to see the comment. This also opens the Comments pane.

You'll find comment balloons near the edge of the page. If you don't see any, click Comments.

2. Check the box below the comment to mark it as done.

You can also delete the comment from there, or click the Reply icon next to the checkbox to reply.
