You can change the properties of a comment in the Properties dialog box. There may be different options in the Properties dialog box for some comment types.

To set properties for a single comment in the Properties dialog box:

  2. Select options in the Properties dialog box.
    • Click the Display tab to change such options as the color and type of icon used. The type of comment selected determines which options are available.
    • Click the Author and Subject tab to change the author’s name and subject of the current comment.
    • Click the History tab to see the history of changes people have made to the status of a comment during a review.
