Provided you have Editor or Owner access, just click on the comment box to add a comment. What's new are the Notification Settings: ![]() The settings shown are the defaults set when you add a comment to a page (the text confusingly refers to 'this doc' and 'this document' instead of 'this page' and the help link takes you to the help page for Document commenting!). The options are reasonably self-explanatory. The picture that appears next to your comment comes from the Google profile of the account you are signed in with (see: profiles.google.com) You can '+mention' people in comments. Simply typing '+' into a given comment will open a drop-down menu of auto-populated contacts. Select the user you'd like to add to the comment from this list. Adding someone to a comment will email them a notification containing the comment thread. If that person doesn’t want email notifications, they can always change their Notification settings. You can even reply by email. (If you have been added to a comment and aren't receiving email notifications, you may want to check your email spam/junk folder.) Adding someone to a comment will not add them to the sharing settings of the Site. If you add an email address to a comment that isn't a) associated with a Google account and b)explicitly listed as an owner, editor or viewer of the Site, they will not receive a comment notification in their email inbox. (I'm still testing this) UpdatesGoogle have started (as of 7 Nov 2012) updating the new commenting system. As and when updates are made, I will update this page with details. Updates will be done in blue.
