If you are working on Microsoft Word, people who have access to your document can comment on it. There is an option for that in the latest version of MS-Word. Mostly, in the corporate sector, people work in a team. When some document is drafted, then the manager or team members can discuss and comment on the progress and other related stuff. In this guide, I have explained how to add or remove comments in Microsoft Word.
Mostly for peer feedback in a project someone can comment on the Word file. Getting the feedback helps in revamping and organizing the ideas properly on the Word document.

It means, if some edit is required in the second paragraph, then you can comment corresponding to that line.
