# Hide or show comment highlights in Docs

Toggle comment highlight visibility in Docs to switch between a clean reading view and a markup view.

## Before you begin

[Add comments to Docs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/add-comments-to-docs-in-cwm.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Collaborative Work Management**.

2.  From the Spaces menu, navigate to the Space where your Doc is located and open it.
