To create a range-based comment, follow these steps 1. Play or scrub to the desired timestamp to locate the relevant moment in the file. 2. Add an annotation or comment to the file. This will define the start point. 3. Drag the handle icons to specify the exact range the comment should apply to. This will define the end point. 4. Enter a comment 5. Click Post to confirm the creation of the comment. ![An image highlighting a range based comment from time 00:01:34 to 00:01:46 within an audio file](https://cdn.document360.io/3a63e0a8-1221-4570-aaa1-d43f9b95a612/Images/Documentation/audio proofing single view.png) An image highlighting a range based comment from time 00:01:34 to 00:01:46 within an audio file The time duration for each comment is visible on the timeline, providing users with a clear understanding of the comment's span within the file. When multiple comments are specified at the same range, they are grouped together on the timeline. Each group is colour-coded according to note access rights colour, and clicking on the group opens a small overlay presenting the individual comments within that group. Once the comment’s time range is set, users can easily extend or reduce it by dragging the handle icons on the timeline.
