📽 How Can Users Add Comments Inside The WordPress Gutenberg Editor?

Content Collaboration Made Easy for WordPress

The ability to leave comments and suggestions in a more meaningful and results-oriented manner during the content review process is currently unavailable in the WordPress Gutenberg editor.

This limits collaborative editing and publishing. Things are prone to get difficult when multiple team members need to review content, and publishers often use Google Docs to place edits and comments collaboratively.

Multidots has created a plugin that allows Google-Doc Style editorial commenting from within the WordPress Gutenberg editor.

This plugin eliminates time-consuming steps and the need to move content out of the editor for collaborative feedback and editing.

👉 Inline comment
Add inline-comment to any text in your blog post for review by other users.

👉 Reply & resolve
Reply to a comment or close the comment thread by marking as resolved.

👉 Activity centre
Keep a tab on all the comment activities by all the users collaborating in the post/page.

👉 Email notifications
Get email notification for new comments, reply and resolve activities.

👉 Hide all comments
Temporarily hide all the comments from a click of a button for clean content editing interface.

mcharudatta August 9, 2021

The plug-in an awesome. It works fantastic. It is one of the great features of our platform.

anom April 3, 2021

This plugin is something I've been looking for. But sadly it's not that good yet. After a few comments, I can't mention another member again, also suddenly I can't do copy paste inside the editor. So, I chose to deactivate the plugin for now. Hopefully it gets better.

brdgamz March 26, 2021

This an easy-to-use plugin—the best one I'm aware of—for those who have an editorial process. My wife is a blogger and I'm her editor. We've only begun taking advantage of it but I wanted to offer a positive shout out.

bichloc December 9, 2020

I added more than 10 comments and then I can't view any of it. There are many issues that need fixing. While writing the comment, the comment box keeps "flickering".

This is exactly what I was looking for. This plugin works flawlessly. Great job.
