Formatting Comments on a procedure In Review

Formatting comments on a procedure In Review can be done in two ways. By highlighting the text you wish to format and by using keyboard shortcuts.

Highlighting Text

  • To add formatting to a comment using the highlight text method, enter your comment

  • Then highlight the part of the text that you want to format e.g. in the below screenshot we want to make bold the sections they have the review

  • Note that as soon as you highlight, it shows you your formatting options

  • Select the formatting option you're after, which will apply the formatting

  • Click away from the comments field to close the formatting options

  • Once you've applied all formatting to your comment you can confirm it

Note: comments confirmed in a review cannot be edited or deleted.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Formatting can also be applied by using keyboard shortcuts. Note that a link cannot be created using a keyboard shortcut, only by highlighting the text you want to link.

Bold Text

The keyboard shortcuts for bold text are either:

  • CTRL+b

  • Two asterisks before and after the text you want bold **this will be come bold**

  • Two underscores before and after the text you want bold __this will become bold__

Italicized Text

The keyboard shortcuts for italics are either:

  • CTRL+i

  • One asterisk before and after the text you want in italics *this will be come italics*

  • One underscore before and after the text you want in italics _this will become italics_

Underlined Text

The keyboard shortcuts for underlined text are either:

  • CTRL+u

Bullet Points

  • Start the line with either an asterisk (*) or a dash (-) then hit your space bar

Numbered List

  • Start the line with either 1. or 1) then hit your space bar

Headings

You can add headings into review comments, but only using keyboard shortcuts. This is as simple as entering a hash (#) or multiple hashes and hitting your space bar.

  • # + space = Heading 1

  • ## + space = Heading 2

  • ### + space = Heading 3

  • #### + space = Heading 5

Use Shift / ALT / CTRL + Enter for a new line

Hitting the Enter key when commenting on an In Review procedure will confirm your comment.

If you'd like to go to a new line, create a new paragraph, or add a second line of bullets / numbering, you'll need to select either Shift+Enter, ALT+Enter, or CTRL+Enter

Comment Character Count

Comments on procedures In Review are limited to 2000 characters (including space and punctuation).

To help you see where you're at, a counter will show how many characters you've used.

As you get closer to 2000, the color will change to orange to warn you. This happens at 1601.

Once you reach 2000, your screen and the counter will go red, there will be a negative number to indicate how many characters over you are, and you're unable to confirm the comment.
