## How do I add comments?

Click in the paragraph where you would like to leave a comment. When your cursor isn't located in the area where you can leave a comment, the comment icon (button) in the Side Toolbar will remain inactive and will look like this: <img src="https://1843290185-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MLOEPbfEK4119w2ROYc%2F-MQMbYSHCxYdH-0bFxk_%2F-MQMnFz8zxmXaud63eIr%2FSetka-Editor-Comments-Icon-Inactive.png?alt=media&#x26;token=643a35f8-8bad-464e-9837-f0798a83a899" alt="" data-size="line">.
