Manage Workbook Comments

Workbook owners, and users with Can Edit or Can Comment access, can add comments to a workbook.

To add a comment, click the

Comments

icon, type your comment, and click

Post

.

To associate a comment with a particular cell or cell range in the sheet, right-click the cell that you want to comment on and select

Insert Comment

. After you enter the comment, a

View Reference

link displays below the comment. If you right-click a cell that contains an existing reference,

View Comment

displays in the right-click menu instead of

Insert Comment

.

To tag a person in a comment, type the

@

character and start typing the user's name in the comment, then select the user. You can tag users only if you already shared the workbook with them. When you tag a person in a comment, they receive a Workday notification and (if enabled) an email.

To edit or delete a comment, select an option from the comment options menu (three dots) on the right side of the comment. You can edit or delete only your own comments.

You can use a subset of Markdown syntax in comments.
