Highlighting puts a colored background over text, making it stand out visually. Underlining draws a line beneath the text. Both are types of annotations used to draw attention to specific parts of a document. You might use highlighting for key ideas and underlining for important phrases to show different levels of importance or types of feedback.
You should sanitize your PDF to remove all hidden data, including comments, markups, and other review notes. If you don't sanitize, these notes can still be recovered, even if you think you've deleted them. This is important for privacy and to prevent sensitive information or internal discussions from being seen by people outside your team. Sanitize ensures your 'final' document is truly clean.
Reaction emojis let you quickly show your feelings about a specific comment in a shared review. Instead of typing a full response, you can use an emoji to agree, disagree, or show confusion. This makes feedback faster and easier to understand for everyone reviewing the document together.
