Answer Key

Collaborating with comments and suggestions

Section A: Quick Questions

B — Suggesting mode

A — Accept the suggestion

B — @Mia

A — A suggested edit

A — Resolve it

Section B: Match the Pairs

@Priya can you check this? → Tags a teammate in a comment so they get a notification and know you need their help

Resolve → Marks a comment as finished and tucks it away once the issue has been dealt with

Suggesting mode shows your edits as proposed changes that the owner can accept or reject → Mode: Suggesting

The owner reviews a suggested edit and keeps it in the file → Click Accept

Mode: Editing (to propose a change for the owner to approve) → Editing mode changes the file straight away. To propose a change the owner can accept or reject, you need Suggesting mode.

Priya, check this (no @ symbol) → Without the @ symbol, Priya is not mentioned, so she may not get a notification. It should be @Priya.

Section C: Definitions

Suggesting mode — A setting where your edits show as proposed changes, not final ones. The file owner can accept or reject each one, and comments can be resolved when finished.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

Switch to Suggesting mode before you edit.

@Mia can you check my intro?

Owner clicks Accept to keep a suggestion.

Owner clicks Reject to remove a suggestion.

Fixed it? Click Resolve on the comment.

Section E: Spot the Error

A — Viewing mode only lets you read the file, so you can't make edits. To propose changes the owner can accept or reject, use mode ← Suggesting.

C — Owners accept or reject suggested edits. Resolve is for comments. The line should be owner.accept(edit).

D — A comment is not accepted. Accept and reject are for suggested edits. When a comment is finished, it is resolved: owner.resolve(comment).

C — The if line is missing its colon at the end. It should be if owner.agrees(edit): so the indented line below belongs to it.

C — If the owner disagrees with a suggested edit, they should reject it so the original text stays. Accepting would make the change permanent. It should be owner.reject(edit).
