# Inserting and Editing Comments

You can assign a comment to each cell by choosing Insert - Comment. The comment is indicated by a small red square, the comment indicator, in the cell.

- The comment is visible whenever the mouse pointer is over the cell.

- When you select the cell, you can choose \<emph\>Show Note\</emph\> from the context menu of the cell. Doing so keeps the note visible until you deactivate the \<emph\>Show Note\</emph\> command from the same context menu.

- To edit a permanently visible note, just click in it. If you delete the entire text of the note, the note itself is deleted.

- Move or resize each note as you like.

- Format each note by specifying background color, transparency, border style, and text alignment. Choose the commands from the context menu of the note.

- To show or hide the comment indicator, choose LibreOffice - Preferences Tools - Options
  - LibreOffice Calc - View and mark or unmark the Comment indicator check box.

To display a help tip for a selected cell, use \<emph\>Data - Validity - Input Help\</emph\>.
