InDesign Review Panel Automatically Filters to 'Resolved' Comments When Editing Text

Report · May 15, 2024

I am often working on documents with multiple review sessions. The problem that occurs since the latest updates of InDesign is that as soon as I put the cursor in a piece of text which previously had a comment attached to it which is resolved, all resolved comments pop up in the comments panel and I cannot see the current comments: all comments are immediately filtered to 'resolved'. Of course I can switch off the filter for resolved comments again, but it switches back again to 'resolved comments' as soon as I start working on the text. This is driving me nuts, because it is not only annoying, it becomes very difficult to work on the unresolved comments and takes up a lot of time. As a work around I now have to open the online document with the current unresolved comments to track down what actually still needs to be resolved. Please help!

@Abhishek Rao, the idea is submitted under Feature Requests with this title: "InDesign Review Panel should NOT switch the filter to 'Resolved' when editing text with older resolved comments"

It is currently under review, so I am not sure if the link will stay the same, but this is the link at this moment:

Also asking for this update. I completely negates the effeciency of the "review" tool. VERY frustrating.
