Reply to and react to a comment

Updated Oct 11, 2026

Reply to and react to a comment โ€‹

Point to a comment in the Notes panel and select Reply to answer it in its thread, or React to add an emoji. Anyone who can open the review can react, but replying needs permission to comment. revis.io's interface calls comments "notes" in places, such as this panel.

Before you start

  • Who: to reply, Owners, Admins, Members, Project Admins, Contributors, and Reviewers, and guests on a link that allows comments. To react, the same people plus Viewers, and guests on any link. If a link asks guests to confirm their email, they confirm it before their first reaction.
  • Where: the web app.
  • You need: a review open in the player, with the Notes panel open (select Notes on the right edge) and a comment in it. To write one, see Add a comment on a frame or range.

Reply to a comment โ€‹

  1. Point to the comment and select Reply.
  2. Type your reply in the box that says Add reply, mention with "@"... To mention someone, type @ and choose a name.
  3. Press Enter, or select Reply.

Your reply appears under the comment. A line such as "2 replies" shows how many there are; select the comment to read them. To answer one reply in particular, point to it and select Reply there. The reply box stays open until you select another comment, and the hover buttons on that comment, including React, stay hidden meanwhile.

React with an emoji โ€‹

  1. Point to the comment and select React, the smiley with a plus.
  2. Choose ๐Ÿ‘, โค๏ธ, ๐Ÿ˜‚, ๐ŸŽ‰, ๐Ÿ‘€, or ๐Ÿ”ฅ. For any other emoji, select More emojis and search.
  3. To take your reaction back, select the same emoji under the comment.

Each emoji appears under the comment with a count, and yours is highlighted. Select an emoji someone else added to add yours. You can react to a reply the same way.

If a reply doesn't save โ€‹

revis.io shows Couldn't save your reply, and the reply stays under the comment marked Not saved, even if you collapse the thread. Select Retry to send it again with your original text and attachments, or Discard to remove it. Retry works while the tab stays open: reloading the page loses an unsaved reply.

Limits โ€‹

  • Resolved comments show neither Reply nor React. Someone who can resolve comments can reopen it first; see Resolve, edit or delete comments.
  • Viewers see React but not Reply.
