Inline comments and reactions

When a line hits you, you don't have to wait for the end of the chapter. You can comment directly on any line in the text.

Selecting text

1. While reading, press and hold a word and drag to extend the selection.
2. A bar appears at the bottom: Comment, React, Share and Send.

• Comment: write a comment on the selected line. It stays attached to that paragraph.
• React: leave an emoji (like ❤️, 👍 or 😂). Tap the same emoji again to remove it.
• Share: make a quote card from the selected text. See Quote cards.
• Send: send the quote as a message to people you follow mutually.

Seeing other readers' comments

Along the right edge of the screen, an orange message icon with a count appears next to paragraphs that have comments. Tap it to open Inline Comments: the quoted line, reactions and comments. On paragraphs without comments, a faint plus sign appears once you stop scrolling; tap it to write the first one.

Replies

You can answer inline comments with Reply. The commenter gets a notification, and tapping it takes them straight to that line.

Good to know

• You need to be signed in to comment or react.
• You can delete your own comments, and authors can delete comments on their books.
• If the author later rewrites a chapter heavily, some inline comments may no longer show at the edge, but they stay in the book page's comment list with their quote.
• You can't comment on books by a writer who has blocked you.
