# Show and hide comments

You can choose to show or hide comments based on their type, author, or status. However, hidden comments aren’t sent with other comments when you select Send Comments.

| From the Show menu on the Commenting toolbar or the Comments List, select the comment types that you want to display. For example, if you want only note comments to appear, choose Show > Show By Type > Notes.
| To hide all comments, choose Show > Hide All Comments. Choose Show > Show All Comments to see them again.
| To show comments that you have hidden in a certain category, select the All command for that category. For example, if you have shown only comments by a certain reviewer, choose Show > Show By Reviewer > All Reviewers.
