Following hot on the heels of the integrated reference management tools we released on Monday, we've now launched a rich commenting platform to help you manage feedback and review of your projects.

Adding comments is easy - simply click the "Add comment" button on the editor toolbar as shown above. You then simply type your comment in the pop-up box that appears, and it'll be inserted into the document:

You can reply to comments left by your collaborators by clicking on the "reply" option at the foot of their comment:

It appears as a nested comment, and you can close the comments when you're done. To re-open any closed comments, simply click the comment icon in the document.
