Move and edit comments

Edit comment

You can edit the content of a published comment. Editing comments is very convenient when you want to find typos, add clarification, or mention other collaborators.

1. 1.Select the comment in the canvas or from the right sidebar.
2. 2.Click to open advanced settings.
3. 3.Click Edit… to edit the comment.
4. 4.Click Save to apply your changes or click Cancel to cancel editing.

Relocate the comment

You can add comments to a specific layer or coordinates on the canvas. This allows you to draw everyone's attention to a specific place on the canvas or a layer through comments.

You can move comments to change their fixed position.

1. 1.Select the comment in the canvas or the right sidebar.
2. 2.Click on the comment.
3. 3.Drag the comment to a new position.

Move layers with the comment

If you have pinned a comment to a specific layer, you can move both the layer and its comment at the same time. The method of moving the layer and the layer's final position will affect the position of the comment.

Cut and paste

If you cut a layer and paste it to a new position, Motiff will disconnect the comment from that layer. However, you can still view and reply to the comment from the right sidebar.

If the comment is not pinned to any layer, you can still find it at its original coordinates in the canvas.

If you cut and paste a layer across files, Motiff will not move the comment. Comments will remain in the original file.

Move between pages

Create duplicates

Motiff will not copy the comments to the new file if you duplicate the file. In this case, comments will only remain in the original file.
