With Suggestion Mode, you can propose changes in a document without directly modifying the original text. Other users can then accept or reject these proposals. This makes it easier to collaborate on documents, provide feedback, and discuss changes.

Enable Suggestion Mode

To make changes as suggestions, Suggestion Mode must be enabled.  When Suggestion Mode is active, all changes are automatically saved as suggestions. The original text remains unchanged and is only updated when a suggestion is approved. You can use this feature when:

• You have comment permissions or higher
• You are working in a document

Enable Suggestion Mode:

• Open the document
• Click Comments in the editor toolbar 
• Click Make suggestions

Make a suggestion

When Suggestion Mode is active, all changes are automatically recorded as suggestions. For example, you can add text, delete text, or edit existing sentences. Making suggestions is only possible in editable text blocks.

• Added text is displayed in green
• Deleted text is displayed in red. 

The suggestion is also automatically placed in the sidebar, together with any comments.

View suggestions

Suggestions are visible in two places. In the document, you can immediately see what has been added or removed in the text. In the sidebar (next to the comments), you can see all open suggestions. You can click a suggestion to go to the text or click the text to open the suggestion.

Accept or reject suggestions

You can accept or reject a suggestion via the sidebar.

• Accept suggestion: open the suggestion in the sidebar and click Accept. The change will then be applied directly to the document. Once a suggestion has been accepted, the change becomes part of the document and the suggestion remains visible under Resolved comments.
• Reject suggestion: open the suggestion and click Reject. The proposed change will then be removed and the original text will remain unchanged in the document.
