3. The Document Inspector dialog box will appear.

5. Review the inspection results.
6. Click the Remove All button next to Comments, Revisions, Versions, and Annotations.

Thanks for this, the comments just appeared randomly and I didn’t know how to get rid of them :)
Luckily, your site was among one of the first few results, which also provided the answer.
Thank you so much,

Inspect the Document is not an option that I can choose. It’s not highlighted. How can I change this?
