However, this system can cause some distractions if we want to review the document and we have several comments in the right margin. For this reason, Google has decided to make changes to the way how they are perceived and how we should interact with them.
From now on, we will have the option to minimize all comments. When we activate it, avatars will appear of users who have entered a comment in a specific part of the text. If we do not click on the avatar, we will not be able to access the entire card system. So we can focus on the content of the document itself.
Always hide them
In addition to the previous option, Google has also gone a step further, offering users more possibilities to adapt the interface completely to your tastes. In addition to minimizing comments, as we have previously mentioned, we will also have the opportunity to hide them when we want to focus only on the content before us. In this way, we will be able to reduce the distractions we have around the document, regardless of the users who have left comments on specific parts of it.
In order to access this functionality, we will have to click on the “View” button found in the top tab. Next, we will have to click on the “Comments” option and, then, we will have to choose between the option to hide, minimize, display or show all comments.
In the blog itself in which Google has reported this change, it states that the launch of this new functionality It will be done immediately for professional users. If you usually use the Google application ecosystem in your daily life, and you are used to working with more users simultaneously, you will be able to start working with the comment system in a much more efficient and comfortable way.
