Collaborate on text

To mark text for editing
To review edited text

You can involve contributors and clients in co-authoring or co-editing text in a document. To enable text collaboration, you first insert placeholder text that shows the font, size, and location of a text element; and then mark this text for editing. Next, you add a comment in the Comments inspector to capture any instructions or notes you have for the reviewers. After you save and share the file, reviewers can edit the text content and adjust text formatting in CorelDRAW.app.

Text elements in a design are marked for editing.

When you open the file that includes edited text, check the text for errors, make sure it fits in the text frame, and make the necessary adjustments. You can then resolve the comment associated with the text.

Comments related to text behave like any other comments in the Comments inspector: They can be resolved, edited, deleted, and hidden. For more information, see Review and provide feedback.
