Comments & real-time editing
Collaboration is real-time. When someone’s editing a block, you see it as taken; cursors, comments, and resolved threads update live.

When should I use a comment instead of chat?
Comments anchor to specific text — a thread on block 12 about that sentence. Chat is document-level (“let’s talk about this doc”). In both you can @-mention teammates or Literess; mention her and she replies inline in the thread.
Resolve a thread with the tick and it moves to the Resolved view; reopen it anytime. React to any comment with an emoji. The Notifications panel is your inbox for mentions and system events — it doesn’t duplicate every chat message.
Notes an AI check leaves on a block, such as a proofread’s, close by themselves once the check has dealt with them. The Comments panel lists them under AI checks, apart from Resolved, and opens on them when no comment is open.
Open a comment in the Comments panel and its block is highlighted, with the comment's card open beside it and lined up with the block. While the panel shows a comment, clicking another comment's card beside the text opens that one in the panel.
To go through every open comment at once, press Review open comments in the Comments panel. The review screen shows each one beside its block’s text: resolve it, ask for a fix that addresses it, or skip it for later. AI flags on the same block arrive as one item.
How do I get a fix for a comment?
Open the comment, as a card beside its block or in the Comments panel, and press Get a fix. The button shows its price before you click.
The fix appears on the block as Suggested fix, with the changed words marked against the current translation. The same fix shows in the comment's thread in the Comments panel.
- Apply saves the fix as a new version of the block and resolves the comment.
- Dismiss discards the fix. The comment stays open.
- Try again asks for a different fix.
The fix takes every open comment on that block into account. If nothing needs to change, you see a note saying so and nothing is charged.
You need edit access to the document to get a fix.
Will the AI undo something we already settled in a resolved comment?
No. Transept’s AI actions — translate, regenerate, proofread — still see resolved comments as historical context, surfaced to the model with a
[RESOLVED]marker, so a decision your team already made doesn’t get reverted on the next run.Can I stop the AI from acting on reviewer comments?
Yes. The Ignore Reviewer Comments toggle works on every flow (translate, regenerate, proofread). With it on, the AI ignores comments from human reviewers — but Literess’s own commentary still flows through, since she’s part of the AI loop rather than an outside voice.
Why don’t I get a notification when Literess leaves a comment?
That’s deliberate. Literess’s comments — her own notes and her Smart Proofread flags — appear in the comments panel but never trigger a push notification, because you’re already talking with her in real time. Notifications stay reserved for @-mentions of you and system events like a finished translation.
Do comments cost credits?
No. Leaving comments, replying, resolving threads, reacting, and editing by hand are all free. Credits are spent only when AI works on your text: Get a fix on a comment shows its price before you click.
