Inline comments & proposals
Content review shouldn't require leaving the page. Docs includes a full comments + proposals review system right in the editor.

Inline comments
Comment on a block — hover a block's handle or select text and click Comment; threads attach to the block (or to the selected text range) and render as cards in the right-side gutter.
Threads and replies — comment cards support threaded replies, edit, delete, resolve/reopen, and emoji reactions (👍 ❤️ 🎉 😄 👀 🚀).
Comments tab — the right rail's Comments tab lists every thread on the document; the canvas shifts slightly left so cards fit beside the text.
Mentions in comments —
@mentions work in comment bodies and notify people.
Change proposals
When an agent (or an integration) proposes edits, they arrive as change proposals rather than direct edits:
A pending proposals banner appears on the document with the count.
Opening a proposal shows a markdown diff — proposed text against the base snapshot — plus the agent's summary and sources (conversations, docs, URLs, or agent runs).
Apply commits the change (snapshotting pre-proposal content into version history); Discard rejects it. You can also navigate among multiple pending proposals.
Proposals target the whole document or a single block, and only users with edit permission can apply them — agent output always waits for a human click.
