Adding a comment (topic view)
You can add a comment to a topic to communicate information about that topic to the content author.
Before you begin
You must have the appropriate group permissions, which govern the actions that you can perform in commenting.
About this task
Comments become associated with inline text (or graphics) using the cid (or id) attribute, which is attached to the element or an ancestor element of the selected text, graphic, or multimedia object. If the DITA element associated with the text selection does not contain this attribute, the comment is created as a topic-level comment. If the comment spans multiple elements, only the first ancestor of the selected elements is used.
You can comment on a conref (content cross reference) in a topic. The comment follows only the topic to which the comment was made; it does not affect other topics that may include that same conref.
