Reviewing in the text

With Editant Pro, comments and suggestions live in the text itself. A reviewer marks the exact passage they mean, and you see it highlighted in the editor, with tracked changes you can accept or reject where they sit.

On the review page

When a reviewer selects some text, a small toolbar appears with two actions. Comment opens the comment box with the selection attached, so the comment is anchored to that passage rather than to the post as a whole. Suggest change lets them type replacement wording instead. Keep a selection inside one block (one paragraph, heading or list item): a selection that runs across blocks is anchored to the block where it starts.

Anchored comments show as a highlight on the passage, with an amber bar in the margin beside any block that has comments. Clicking a highlight or a bar opens the comment. Pending suggestions are drawn as tracked changes, with the original wording struck through and the replacement inserted after it, and they update as you act on them in the editor. Resolved comments leave the text; reopening a thread brings its highlight back.

In the editor

Open the post in the block editor. Passages with comments are highlighted in the canvas and marked with the same amber margin bar. In the Comments section of the Editant sidebar, each anchored comment carries a Show in text link that scrolls to and highlights its passage; a comment whose passage can no longer be found says so instead.

Pending suggestions appear as tracked changes in the canvas too. Click one to open a popover showing the Proposed change with Accept and Reject buttons. Accept applies the replacement in place; save your draft first, because Accept is disabled while there are unsaved changes. If the surrounding text has changed since the suggestion was made, the popover offers Mark as done instead, so you can make the edit by hand and close the suggestion. The popover works with the sidebar closed, and the Suggestions section stays in step with it.

Keeping up without reloading

Both surfaces refresh themselves. A comment posted while the editor is open appears in the sidebar and in the text within about half a minute, and the sidebar’s Refresh button fetches at once. A reviewer who still has the page open sees threads resolve and suggestions accepted or rejected without reloading. Background browser tabs pause these checks until they are brought to the front.
