Adding a comment, like a sticky note or text box, lets you write detailed text feedback. Drawing markup tools, such as lines or shapes, are for visually highlighting or pointing to specific areas. Both are useful for review, but comments are better for written explanations, while drawing markups are for visual cues. They both help you communicate changes or ideas clearly.
It is important to sanitize a PDF after adding comments because comments are a separate layer of data. If you don't sanitize, your review notes and personal feedback might still be visible to others, even if you think the file is 'final'. Sanitizing removes this hidden data, protecting your privacy and ensuring only the intended content is shared.
When reviewing a legal contract, Comments and Annotations can help you work faster by letting you add feedback directly on the document. You can highlight important clauses, suggest changes with text boxes, or ask questions using sticky notes. This keeps all your review notes in one place, making it easy to track changes and communicate with others without printing or writing separate emails. It speeds up the feedback loop.
