Attach comments to selected text and collaborate directly inside your document — feedback stays anchored to context, threaded for clarity.
Eddyter's Comment on Text feature lets you attach comments directly to any word, sentence, or paragraph in your document — exactly the way Google Docs handles inline comments. Feedback stays anchored to the specific content it refers to, threaded for replies, and visible only when needed.
Please avoid long email chains that point to "the second paragraph from the bottom." No more Slack messages with screenshots. Feedback lives where the content lives.
Most feedback workflows leak context. Reviewers write comments somewhere else (email, Slack, chat) and try to describe which part of the document they're referring to. By the time the writer gets the feedback, the context is fuzzy and half the comments make no sense.
Inline comments solve this in the cleanest possible way: the feedback IS the location. When a reviewer comments on a specific sentence, the comment is anchored to that sentence — no description needed.
The interaction is intentionally familiar to anyone who's used Google Docs:
Comments stay anchored to the selected text. As the document changes, the comment moves with the content it references.
These two features pair together but solve different problems:
Comment on Text | Mentions ( | |
|---|---|---|
Anchored to | Specific text selection | Inside any comment or document |
Best for | Targeted feedback on specific content | Pulling someone into a conversation |
Use case | "This sentence needs a citation" | "@Priya can you review this section?" |
Notifies | Document watchers | Specific tagged person |
Most review workflows use both: comments to leave the feedback, mentions to make sure the right people see it.

For SaaS teams shipping editors to their own users, the inline comment model is what users now expect. Email threads and Slack screenshots feel like 2010-era collaboration.
Inline commenting isn't a plugin, browser extension, or third-party widget. It ships with the standard Eddyter editor on every plan, including Free.
For developers integrating Eddyter into a SaaS app, that means:
Setup details are in the Eddyter Documentation. New to the editor? What is Eddyter? is a 2-minute walkthrough.
Editors leave precise, line-by-line feedback. Writers see exactly which sentences need work without parsing vague feedback.
Stakeholders comment on specific phrasing, claims, or CTAs. Approvals happen in-document instead of through Slack chains.
Technical reviewers flag specific terms, code examples, or steps that need clarification. Engineers can address each point in context.
Legal, compliance, brand, and product all comment on different parts of the same document — without stepping on each other.
PMs draft specs; engineers and designers comment with questions or suggestions; everyone sees the same threaded discussion.
Customer success teams leave context-specific notes on FAQ articles, onboarding emails, and support content before publish.
Document review workflows have permanently shifted:
Eddyter's inline comments give you that collaboration model — inside your own SaaS app. If you're evaluating Eddyter end-to-end, Integrate Eddyter in 30 Minutes walks through full setup including comments, mentions, and collaboration features.

Highlight the text you want to comment on, click Add Comment in the floating toolbar, write your feedback, and submit. The comment stays anchored to that text.
Yes. Each comment supports threaded replies, so a single piece of feedback can become a full discussion without cluttering the document.
Yes. Use @mentions inside any comment to notify specific people. See the Mentions feature for the full mention spec.
Comments stay anchored to the original text. If the text is deleted, the comment is preserved but flagged as referencing removed content. If text is moved, the comment moves with it.
Yes. Resolve comments when feedback is addressed (they hide from the active view) and reopen them if discussion needs to continue.
Yes. Inline comments are included on every Eddyter plan, including Free.
Yes. Eddyter is a drop-in React component, and inline comments are part of the standard editor — no extra configuration required.
The Comment on Text feature pairs cleanly with the rest of the editor:
Together, they create a complete collaborative editing experience.
Feedback only works when it's specific. Inline comments make specificity the default — every comment is automatically tied to the exact content it references.
The teams that ship the most polished content are the teams whose review workflows have the lowest friction. Eddyter's inline comments give you that friction-free workflow inside the editor where you write.
