When you sign in with an enterprise account, your comments are authenticated. When you sign in as guest, you can type the name you want to be associated with your comments. However, your comments cannot be authenticated. If you switch from commenting as guest to commenting with your enterprise account, all comments you made as a guest before will still be identified as guest ones.

After signing in, you can select, respond to, and resolve comments as well as reopen resolved comments. You can add a note icon, and then type a comment in the Comments docker, or you can mark up the document with arrows, rectangles, ellipses as well as straight and free-form lines. To draw attention to a specific area in a document, you can highlight it as if you were using a highlighter on paper. You can add a comment to clarify each markup you draw. If you want to add custom shapes and lines; you must set their properties, such as fill color, line thickness, and outline width, before you start drawing in the document.
