How can i remove comments made from someone else on a file of mine? who is able to see those comments? Do the people i shared my file with, see the comments from that specific individual?

Hey @auramona, thanks for posting to our Community and happy Friday!

 

Everyone with access to the file will be able to see the comments on it, indeed.

 

You can follow the steps here, to delete any comment from your file.

 

I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let me know.

Hannah thank you very much for your answer but I have been trying to delete the comments but there is not such an option because the comments weren't made by me.

Do you know if they get a notification email like I did or they just view the comments when they access the file?

Hi @auramona, currently, you can only delete comments written by yourself, and not others. 

 

Depending on their notification settings, they might receive an email for any new comments added to files.
