Comments
The TinyMCE 8.9.0 release includes an accompanying release of the Comments premium plugin.
Comments includes the following additions.
New option tinycomments_always_show_highlights to keep comment highlights visible while the sidebar is closed
Previously, the Comments plugin highlighted commented content only while the Comments sidebar was open. Closing the sidebar removed the highlighting from the editor content, so commented content was easy to overlook and users could overwrite it without warning.
In TinyMCE 8.9.0, the Comments plugin offers the tinycomments_always_show_highlights option. When this option is set to true, commented content remains highlighted whether the Comments sidebar is open or closed. This option defaults to false, which preserves the existing behavior.
Selecting a comment highlight opens the Comments sidebar
Previously, the Comments plugin removed the highlighting while the Comments sidebar was closed, so users could not reopen a conversation from the editor content.
In TinyMCE 8.9.0, when the tinycomments_always_show_highlights option is set to true, selecting highlighted content reopens the closed Comments sidebar.
For information on the Comments plugin, see: Comments.
