I really think there should be an option to always display comments (on documents within boards specifically). I like the idea of having a commented up doc with a bunch of comment bubbles flying off of it. It might look a little chaotic, but the point would be to be able to see the comments without having to click on the bubbles individually. Could move, resize, or reposition them in canvas space, and they’d always be connected to the words that it was originally attached to.
When I’m editing a doc, the feedback, or note, can be important, and the comment indicator, for me, doesn’t call enough attention to itself. Right now, I achieve this functionality in a very janky way by using arrows that point to or from phrases directly on the document, but if I change one word, or shift the doc the whole thing gets messed up, and can be tedious to maintain. This change to make comments visible at all times and I wouldn’t have to do that.
I imagine this may not look great for some individuals and how they maintain their boards, but I imagine this alternative functionality could be behind a toggle switch: “leave doc comments open”. This could pair with an additional toggle switch, “leave resolved comments open”. It could be fun to slowly clear the chaos of comments off of a document as they’re resolved in a very gamified fashion, but I could also see it where some people may want the comments always viewable, all the time.
