HackMDHide and Resolve Comments
You can hide Comments that disrupt normal discussions, or Resolve comments that have already been resolved.
💡 Try suggest edit
Sometimes we leave comments to point out a typo, suggest a better phrase, or add a new perspective to the text. These comments are like scaffolding on a text that is expected to be removed once the text leaves the draft stage and faces a wider readership.
For these scaffolding edits, suggesting edits is a better choice than comments.

- Select the hidden comment you wish to unhide.
