There’s no option to “View all Comments” which would be nice. The notes appear based on the document section you are in at the time. Note: I’m frequently extolling Scrivener in this blog but I will make a minor criticism here. In fact if your editor used Microsoft Word and leaves comments they will import into Scrivener just fine, and appear as sidebar comments too. Your editor can leave you sidebar comments attached to text that needs further attention – much like you can in Microsoft Word. This commenting capability is particularly useful if your editor also uses Scrivener. I use red for awkward phrases, yellow for to-do items, orange if I feel something needs embellishment. If you right click on the comment in the sidebar you can even change its color, allowing you to create different note types for yourself and easily distinguish what they are for. Clicking the note in the sidebar jumps me to the section of the manuscript to which this comment belongs. What’s really cool here is as I scroll the manuscript, the notes stay visible in the sidebar – prompting me that I have a to-do item in this section of the book. Collapsing them allows you to see most of them on your screen and you can expand the ones you are interested in. Useful when you have a ton of comments or long comments. You can use this to hide the comment text or expand it. Note: You will notice on the sidebar comment an arrow next to the heading “comment:”. Now I can hover my mouse over the text in the manuscript and see the comment, or I can read it in the sidebar. Notice how the text in the manuscript becomes highlighted but the note remains in the sidebar. I can then type as much text here as I want. This generates a comment for me – automatically adding the date and time the note was entered. Scrivener 2.8 put annotation in toolbar plus#
