1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,048
A Word review comment seems to disappear after you resolve it.

2
00:00:04,048 --> 00:00:07,295
It is usually still available in the Comments pane.

3
00:00:07,295 --> 00:00:11,263
In this fictional document, we will resolve one deadline note, find

4
00:00:11,263 --> 00:00:16,314
that same thread, reopen it and check that the original sentence has not changed.

5
00:00:16,314 --> 00:00:20,282
The crucial distinction is that Resolve hides a discussion from active

6
00:00:20,282 --> 00:00:22,086
review while Delete removes it.

7
00:00:22,686 --> 00:00:27,160
Create a Word for the web document with the fictional registration sentence.

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,007
Select the sentence and add the practice comment asking to confirm the deadline.

9
00:00:32,007 --> 00:00:33,499
Keep the document private.

10
00:00:33,499 --> 00:00:38,719
The exact comment text gives you a way to identify the same thread later.

11
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:41,533
Use Resolve thread on the comment.

12
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:45,591
Microsoft says this moves the discussion out of active review while

13
00:00:45,591 --> 00:00:47,436
keeping it available for reference.

14
00:00:47,436 --> 00:00:49,281
Do not choose Delete thread.

15
00:00:49,281 --> 00:00:53,340
Notice that the margin no longer presents the thread as active,

16
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,923
but the comment has not been erased.

17
00:00:56,523 --> 00:01:00,608
Open the Comments pane and locate the thread by its text.

18
00:01:00,608 --> 00:01:03,578
If your view filters comments, include resolved threads.

19
00:01:03,578 --> 00:01:07,663
Read the original practice wording so you know you found the

20
00:01:07,663 --> 00:01:10,262
existing thread rather than an unrelated note.

21
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:12,969
Choose Reopen on the resolved thread.

22
00:01:12,969 --> 00:01:16,831
It should return to active review and allow a reply again.

23
00:01:16,831 --> 00:01:20,694
Avoid adding a second comment merely because the first was hidden.

24
00:01:20,694 --> 00:01:24,556
If you cannot find it, verify that you are in the

25
00:01:24,556 --> 00:01:28,068
correct document and that it was resolved rather than deleted.

26
00:01:28,668 --> 00:01:31,452
Confirm the registration sentence still reads Friday.

27
00:01:31,452 --> 00:01:35,827
Then check the one comment is active in the Comments pane

28
00:01:35,827 --> 00:01:38,214
and remains attached to that sentence.

29
00:01:38,214 --> 00:01:42,589
This result verifies both the document text and the review state

30
00:01:42,589 --> 00:01:45,373
without publishing or sharing the practice document.

31
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:49,734
Compare your own practice copy with the answer check.

32
00:01:49,734 --> 00:01:51,824
The original sentence remains unchanged.

33
00:01:51,824 --> 00:01:56,420
The fictional comment text remains visible in the Comments pane after

34
00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:01,435
resolving, disappears from active margin review, and becomes active again after Reopen.

35
00:02:01,435 --> 00:02:06,032
No new duplicate thread is created and no comment is deleted.

36
00:02:06,032 --> 00:02:10,628
If the result differs, revisit the source data and the specific

37
00:02:10,628 --> 00:02:13,136
step rather than hiding the symptom.

38
00:02:13,136 --> 00:02:17,733
The matching written guide includes the exercise and primary product references.
