How to See Resolved Comments in Google Docs

Comments are essential for working with others in a collaborative document; it is a way to manage feedback and ensure everyone is on the same page.

If collaborators want to provide feedback in Google Docs, they can choose an element (such as text) and then click on the “Comment” icon.

The document’s editor then goes through the comments, makes any necessary changes to the document, and then resolves the comment.

But what if you accidentally clicked on the resolve icon, or if you want to read through all the resolved comments later?

In this article, you’ll learn how to see resolved comments in Google Docs.
