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?
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.
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.

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
Thanks, Amir, very useful.
Hi David Nevin
