Comment Markings Won't Go Away


Hi All, 

 

I recently copied my entire Lucid workbook and now have very strange comment markings that appear on every single page and I can’t delete them or even touch them. They’re more annoying than anything. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? 

These are the exact same on every page

Thanks for the reply!

 

That works, but I do want to see comments. The issue is, these don’t seem to be actual comments. They appear now on every page and I can’t click on them or do anything with them. The other active comments are still working, but these just won’t go away now.

@Plative Bennett - Thanks for the recent outcome and which clears the situation as well, since you have copied entire Lucid workbook, this is just an unknow error / technical push which is causing appearance of the graphical interface of comment element in form of screenshot getting generated while transitioning from the source workbook.

Thanks! Is there anything to do about it? I don’t think I noticed this in the copied versions, so when I present to the client, do I just need to make one more copy?

Hi @Plative Bennett - Good to know the copied version is free of issues.

Making another copy is a smart move, enabling us to monitor and quickly identify any technical problems that might occur.

Best Regards

I’m seeing the same bug too today. I don’t think this exists before when I was updating the same chart last week.

@Humas1985 @Amelia W I’m having the same issue. I have a document with multiple tabs, and (almost) every tab in the document shows the icons for comments across the combined tabs (even if there are no comments made on that specific tab). And I can only click to view a comment if I’m on the correct tab. So I need to hover over every icon, on every tab, just to see if there's a relevant comment to view. See screenshots below of two different tabs from the same document. One tab only has one comment for that tab, and the other tab doesn’t have any comments made in that tab.

Note: It seems that the issue is only happening in tabs that I created by DUPLICATING, instead of creating a new tab and then copying and pasting content across. If this is the case, then this is a very annoying bug and effectively makes the “duplicate tab” feature unusable. All the comments were made AFTER I’d duplicated all the applicable tabs.

 

Only one of the comments was actually made in this tab of the document


 

A different tab, with NO comments actually made in that tab. Note the comment icons in both tabs appear in exactly the same places.


 

 

Third tab screenshot: one that I “created new” instead of duplicating an existing one. There are no comment icons in this tab.

@Humas1985 @Amelia W CORRECTION: ALL tabs are showing all the comments icons, regardless of whether I created them new or duplicated them. I hadn’t zoomed out enough on the “new” tabs to see the comments icons in a different part of the screen (see screenshot below)
