Collaborate with AI and team members through annotations.

7 min read Share

TeXposit's comment and suggestion system lets you review and discuss a document without touching the source. Whether you're reviewing your own work with AI or working with teammates, you can annotate specific sections and track changes without modifying the original text.

Creating Comments

Manual Comments

To add a comment to any text:

  1. Select the text you want to comment on
  2. Right-click and choose Add Comment
  3. Type your comment and press Enter

Comments can span multiple lines, include formatting, and reference specific passages in your document.

AI-Generated Suggestions

When you use the AI assistant to refine text (e.g., "Improve Writing"), it creates suggestions instead of directly modifying your text:

  • Original text highlighted in original
  • Suggested text shown in a yellow badge
  • Click Accept or Reject each suggestion

Managing Suggestions

Review Workflow

Open the Suggestions Panel to see all pending suggestions. You can:

  • Accept One: Apply a single suggestion (Cmd+Enter)
  • Reject One: Discard a suggestion without applying it (Cmd+⌫)
  • Accept All: Apply all suggestions at once (useful for bulk formatting fixes)
  • Reject All: Clear all pending suggestions

Suggestion Metadata

Each suggestion shows:

Type: Grammar, Style, or Clarity
Confidence: High, Medium, or Low
Reason: Why this suggestion was made
Created: Timestamp for tracking

Comment Threads

Replying to Comments

Click a comment badge to open the thread. You can:

  • Reply to any comment to maintain discussion context
  • Mention teammates with @username
  • Resolve comments when issues are addressed
  • Reopen resolved comments if needed

Filtering Comments

Use the Comments Panel to filter by:

Unresolved: Comments awaiting action
Resolved: Completed conversations
Mine: Comments you created

Smart Suggestion Tips

• AI suggestions tend toward formal tone. Your original may be better for conversational sections.

• Use suggestions as a starting point, not gospel truth

• Create custom comments for sections you want to revisit later
