Permissions

Won’t do (now)

• No replies, no thread, just single comments
• No editing, not moving markers, just create/delete comments
• If the binary file changes, all shapes/comments will be removed by the backend. Later might add confirmation/notification function to let user control/know about this, but not now.
• Will not truncate long comments, no “more/less” links.

Comment vs Office Online Editing

• What can we do with Office 365? Can we do preview in read only mode, comments? DMS MVP - RT Office edit (WOPI) sn-dms-demo#70
  • We can preview in read only, but only off365 files
  • We can comment, but only off365 files. No other shapes

Store

• file - which file the comment belongs to
• who - who commented
• when - DISCUSS: allow for comment modification? Store creation and modification dates?
• Contents - DISCUSS: simple text?
• Page number
• Position
• Order: height, width

Implementation plan

• New Comment CTD. Place where the preview content is located, under the file in services.
• Create a folder for holding comments under File's content template
• Patch: create the comments folder under all(!) files with correct permissions
• Create components in sn-document-viewer-react
• Use these components in DMS demo
