--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
I think in addition to current exposure on the Navigator deck, that addition of
a 'Comments' content panel to the 'Manage Changes' deck would support some
collaborative work flows beyond current change tracking.

A "Comments deck" makes it a lot easier to manage comments in a document. To
understand that, think from the perspective of someone who adds maybe 100+
comments to a document, then send it to a student/collaborator. And later
receive the document back for further review.

In this scenario, it becomes relevant to:
1) Sort comments by date, author
2) Filter comments by content, by reply status
3) Edit comments and reply to them in the "document pane" itself (see attached
image; the UI fits much more text and to me is more convenient to use)
4) Mark comments as resolved or delete them
5) View only resolved/unresolved comments
6) Etc...

In summary, a Comments pane would allow to manage comments and is focused on
users who heavily comment and collaborate while developing documents.
