Overview

A comment is a rich text note that is attached to, and associated with, a cell, separate from other cell content. Comment content is stored separate from the cell, and is displayed in a drawing object (like a text box) that is separate from, but associated with, a cell. Comments are used as reminders, such as noting how a complex formula works, or to provide feedback to other users. Comments can also be used to explain assumptions made in a formula or to call out something special about the cell.
