How to change the way comments are displayed

When I use OO’s word processor, comments are displayed as a running list on the left side of the screen. Is there any way to display them the way other word processors do, i.e., Word, WPS, and Libre Office, with each comment’s insertion point clearly marked and it’s obvious which comment goes with which text passage, almost like bubbles?

Hello @acolburn

Unfortunately, this feature is currently unavailable in ONLYOFFICE. We will forward your suggestion to our Development Department.

Hello Kate,

Has this feature been implemented yet as it has been two years?

Thanks
David

Hello @tdw1

Comments now are highlighted and you can click it to open balloon with more information about the comment. Here is an example:

It’s a great improvement, but it would really help the user experience to have the option for the comment bubbles to be all open asinline margin bubbles anchored to the insertion point (the way Word or LibreOffice do it). I guess if we can do it one at a time, most of the implementation is done, the challenge is how to stack them when there are many comments inside the viewing area…

Hello @bahanzai

Can you provide a screenshot of this for better understanding?

Sure, Here’s an example from Google Docs. The important aspects are that the comments are always visible and anchored to where they were added.
