    Backoffice digital publishing workflow: inline commenting on texts - collaborative editing comments

    Hello, Has anyone worked with a package or a solution for inline commenting on draft texts created by other editors in the back-end?

    The workflow would be as follows. Editor A submits a text 300 - 5000 words. Editor B can read and add comments to the text. These comments could be inserted (inline comments) or tagged to a particular word/sentence or paragraph. (anchored comments) Editor A can view the comments. (committing changes is not a requirement at this point) I'm thinking of a much scaled-down collaborative document comment-only system similar to Google Docs, or Etherpad, anyone done anything similar?

    Any feedback would be very helpful.

    Plumber is the closest thing I can think of, but doesn't do exactly what you're looking for. There's not a lot of hooks within a node from the API that I'm aware of especially when you get into grid, nested content, etc. I could def be wrong: https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/plumber-workflow-for-umbraco/

    Thanks Amir. But I'm looking for a commenting solution more than a workflow solution.

    Actually Amir, Now that I'm thinking about it, it is the workflow I need to get going first, isn't it? Thanks again.

    I would start there. The comment thing is going to be a challenge but...maybe start here? https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/Backoffice-Tours/

    I bet there's some angular component you could utilize for the comments, I'm just googling but hopefully this helps: https://stackblitz.com/edit/comment-component

    Hi David Nevin

    You could start with a custom property which includes a rich text editor and and a button, click button will display a preview popup to show the content and all available comments here, do comment or reply to existing comments also here.

    It's more complicated if you want to integrate to a workflow I think.

    Hope it help

    Cheers

    Hi Nick, thanks for the suggestion. I'm beginning to think about the text displayed with line numbers and a basic form input below. Also might be simpler than I described, since the other commenters can't and won't see the other comments, only their own. The originator of the post will be the only user to see all comments.
