Viewing Review Workflow Comments in WIP Word/Excel Files

Viewing Review Workflow Comments in WIP Word/Excel Files

Can we display comments added to Word or Excel files during the review workflow within the WIP folders? Currently, when someone uses the built‑in Word or Excel commenting feature, it creates a new version of the file in the workflow. This leads to confusion for checkers and reviewers, as the system shows “New version exists.” It would be helpful if comments made during the review were visible directly in the WIP folders so that users outside the workflow can also view them without triggering a new file version.

This would be more than helpful. For us it's one of the few non-negotiables that are keeping us from starting to use ACC for our review workflows.

Hi gents, it is possible to retrieve the comments from the backend. Then there are a number of options of how to display them for ease of access. One way is to have sync bots push the comments in a new column.
