How to resolve inline review comments in Confluence
Resolve a Confluence inline comment from its original thread once the feedback has been addressed; use the comments panel’s Resolved filter to inspect or reopen it.
Resolution removes the highlight while keeping the discussion available. For a PRD review, first record the scope decision so the disappeared highlight does not hide an unresolved disagreement.
Step-by-step guide
Open the exact review thread
Select the highlighted text or use Show comments in the bottom-right floating action bar. Confirm the thread relates to the current wording and read its replies before editing. A general comment and an inline comment have different review behavior.
Address the feedback visibly
For example, if a reviewer asks whether refunds are in scope, update the PRD’s scope section and reply with the decision and reason. Publish the page edit when appropriate so readers see the actual resolution, not just an assertion in comments.
Resolve the original inline comment
Use the resolve option on the initial inline comment. The option is not attached to a reply. You can resolve while viewing or editing, and the associated text highlight disappears once the thread is resolved.
Check the resolved queue
In the comments panel, filter for Resolved and inspect the thread. If the scope decision changes, use the green Reopen check next to the comment. Review remaining open comments separately so a clean page does not imply the entire review is complete.
Common mistakes
Deleting the thread to clear a highlight
Deleted comments cannot be restored. Resolve a completed discussion when you need to preserve its review history.
