Viewing and editing comments
You use the Comments palette to view, edit, and delete comments.
1
Choose Object > Options > Comments to display the Comments
palette. All comments attached to objects in a document appear in the
Comments palette.
2
Select an authors name in the pop-up menu to display only that
authors comments in the list. To show all comments, choose All
Reviewers.
The scrolling list displays the first lines and the authors initials for
each comment. The initials preceding comments are from the user
name entered during Canvas installation. You can edit the initials on
the User Info tab in the Preferences dialog box.

Click a comment to select it. When you select a comment, Can-
vas selects the commented object in the document. Yellow (Win-
dows) or gray (Mac) selection handles appear around the object to
indicate that the object has one or more comments.

To view, edit, or remove a selected comment, choose one of the
following options:
View
To view a selected comment, click View. The comment text
appears in the View Comments dialog box. You can select text and
copy it to the Clipboard using standard keyboard shortcuts. You can
edit your own comments in the View Comments dialog box, but you
cant edit or remove comments made by others.
The pencil icon at the bottom-left corner of the dialog box indicates
that you can edit a comment. When you view a comment that you
cant edit, a slash appears on the pencil icon.
When you finish viewing a comment, click OK or Cancel to close the
dialog box. If you have made changes to a comment, click OK to
save the changes or click Cancel to discard them and close the dialog
box.
Remove
Select a comment you created. Click Remove to delete the
comment from the object and the Comments palette.
Comments remain attached to objects until you remove the com-
ments. However, comments are not preserved by operations that con-
vert objects to different forms. These operations include Knife,
Combine, Extrude, Fractalize, Join, Make Composite, Convert to
Paths, and Insert Picture.
