# Create a Comment

## What is a Comment?

A **comment** is a note attached to specific blocks or elements, allowing collaborators to discuss, suggest edits, or leave reminders without altering the main content.

The comments appear in a sidebar and form discussion threads with replies, helping teams communicate and refine documents effectively.\
\
A **comment manager** is a simple, integrated manager that list and helps manage all co-workers comments within the course for seamless collaboration.
