How to change comment colors when same reviewer

Greetings,

I am a commercial broker and usually represent both sides (Buyer/Seller or Tenant/Landlord) as transaction broker. How would I be able to progress to another color when commenting a document when I am the only one actually commenting the document? For example, LL goes over his requested modifications and comments, I comment accordingly (in RED of course is first color). Then Tenant does the same and I need to go back into the document and now comment with his modifications and remarks, but the system thinks it still the same "round" of commentating since it's only me. I don't want to ACCEPT ALL because then we can't track each sides comments. How can I let the system know that this is another progressed round of comments and necessitate another color? 

 

Thanks in advance.

You need to change the color for your comments and make them the new default. Let's say you add five sticky notes with the color set to red, then you switch roles. Add another note and right-click on the note, and select to edit it's properties. Change the color _AND_ select to "Make Properties Default". From now on, when you place a note, it will use the new color. When you are ready to switch back to your first role, you do the same thing again, but change the color back to red.

Plus, if you do that, you'll be able to filter the comments later on by Reviewer, and only see yours/the other person's comments!
