Adding a comment is a space-saving way to share thoughts on various sections of your notes with other collaborators on a shared document, or simply with yourself!

Example use cases include:

• Education: Teachers and students can comment on a math problem on a shared document.
• Self-study: Students who have a notebook full of notes might add comments to specific areas on the page, forming “collapsible” sticky notes.
• Collaboration: Interior designers can share their furniture selections on a shared floor plan, allowing clients to share thoughts on the furniture suggested on the page.
