Description

Add tools for slide comment management.

Suggested:

  • pptx_get_comments (extract all comments from presentation — author, date, text, position, associated shape)
  • pptx_add_comment (add comment to specific shape/slide)
  • pptx_resolve_comment (mark as resolved)

Note: Modern PowerPoint uses both legacy comments (CommentPart) and modern threaded comments.

Business value: collaborative workflows, aggregate reviewer feedback, automated review.

Complexity: Medium.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing slide and shape tool entry points, then trace how the project represents PowerPoint parts. Compare the legacy CommentPart model with modern threaded comments before scoping pptx_get_comments, pptx_add_comment, and pptx_resolve_comment. Done means comments can be read, added to a slide or shape, and marked resolved across the supported comment models.
