Hi mikejasinski,

Thank you for reaching out.

The option is still available on the Acrobat online account. You may select the options by clicking the comment icon in the tools pane on the floating tool pane at the left. However, the option is not available in the quick selection pop-up. Refer to the screenshot below:

For more information on commenting PDF, refer to the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/add-comments.html.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

The Comments icon does not consistently show a dropdown menu for further options like replace or insert. I the triangle indicating the dropdown maybe 1/10 of the time, but even after reloading the page the submenu is just missing. Has anyone discovered how to work around this? Without it the online version is basically unusable if the goal is to get the text changes to appear in InDesign.
