Use this interactive demo to learn how to leave an inline comment on a Confluence page.

Quick summary

Adding a comment in Confluence lets teams leave inline feedback directly on page content without disrupting the document. This three-step process uses Confluence's built-in comment icon to anchor feedback to specific highlighted text.

Steps

Highlight any text on the Confluence page where you want to leave feedback.
Click the comment icon that appears after highlighting the text.
Type your comment in the text box and click "Add" to save it.

📌 Why this matters

Inline commenting in Confluence keeps feedback contextual and tied directly to the relevant content, reducing miscommunication across teams. Instead of relying on separate email threads or chat messages, collaborators can leave precise, page-level comments that anyone with access can view and respond to in real time. This feature accelerates document review cycles and improves cross-functional alignment inside Atlassian Confluence workspaces. For teams managing projects, documentation, or knowledge bases, mastering Confluence comments is essential for efficient asynchronous collaboration.
