UiPath.Word.Activities.WordAddComment

Description

Adds a comment to a Word document anchored to a text match, bookmark, or revision (tracked change).

Project compatibility

Windows

Configuring the activity

  • Comment - The content of the comment to be added.
  • Search by - The type of anchor for the comment. Select one of the following options:
    • Text - Searches for a text in the document and anchors the comment to the matched text.
    • Bookmark - Identifies a predefined bookmark in the Word document and anchors the comment to a named bookmark.
    • Revision - Anchors to a tracked change.

Properties

Options

  • Occurrence index - The occurrence of the anchor text to target. For example, 1 targets the first occurrence, 2 targets the second. If omitted, defaults to the first match.
  • Author - The author name for the comment. If not provided, it defaults to the current user.
Note:

Using the Cross-platform version of this activity in a document where comments were previously added with the Windows version may not work as expected. This applies only when you intentionally mix Windows and Cross-platform activities on the same document.

Note:

For more details on the plus menu options, check Designing automations.
