Comments.
On.
Main.
Say goodbye to the days of draft-only comments. Now you and your collaborators can leave comments right smack in the main doc. š„µ
Commenting on the main document works the same as in drafts.
Simply highlight the text you wish to comment on -> type, style, and post š
Comments can be carried over from the main doc to drafts (just select keep comments) šā¦ as well as merged back into the main document from drafts š±
Weāre also using the opportunity to update the titles of collaborator roles to better reflect all the things Ellipsus can do now!
Can merge -> Document editor
Can edit -> Draft editor
Can comment ā> Commenter (on both main & drafts)
Can view -> Viewer
To be clear: the permissions structure isnāt changing, just the names! You can get acquainted with the new role titles here: Collaboration in Ellipsus
One thing to keep in mind when working with comments between drafts & main doc:
When merging, a comment in the draft will overwrite a comment in main linked to the same portion of text. In other words, overlapping comments = merge conflicts, so try to keep your comments spaced out.
Keep the comments rolling š
And for the Plus users, we've got another snazzy update for youā¦

Introducing: Typewriter scrolling! šš
Typewriter scrolling keeps the line your typing on in a fixed spot, while the scrolling view moves around it.
Typed lines will move up the page, rather than down, as your cursor stays level, for a super steady writing experienceājust like a typewriter!
To toggle on go to Editor settings -> Typewriter scrolling.
