I created a comment summary because I was curious about it, but now I want to remove the comment summary and go back to editing my comments. How do I do that?

Go to the “Comment” tab in the top menu.
In the Comments pane on the right-hand side, you will see the comment summary.
Right-click on the comment summary and select “Remove Comment Summary” from the context menu.
A confirmation dialog will appear, asking if you want to remove the comment summary. Click “Yes” to proceed.
The comment summary will be removed, and you will be able to see and edit individual comments in the Comments pane.
