Hi,

I am new to Sharepoint.

Monthly financial reports on a project are loaded into Sharepoint as pdf files. I would like to be able to review the files and make comments on them, but I want the comments visible to me only.

Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Thanks.

    Hi @L W ,

    If you are using the Comments feature in SharePoint Online library, it is not supported to set comments visible to yourself only.
    The comments are by default visible to everyone who has access to the file, and this applies to all types of files including PDF.
    This is by design.
