Comments

When editing, you or a collaborator can enter comments for the Production Editor. Comments don't become part of the article. Comments are just instructions or parenthetical remarks that you can see within ArticleExpress. ArticleExpress inserts comment markers at the cursor. If you select a block of text and then insert a comment, the comment marker appears at the beginning of the selection. Open the Comments widget to see the comment text.
