Guides 5.1 and Draft Comment output

Good afternoon!

We use (AEM/Guides) Native PDF output and have our draft comments set to display in PDF output with special formatting.

They had been working fine until we recently updated to 5.1. Now everything in Guides shows correctly (author, source, preview) but there are no Draft Comments in the output PDF.

 

What could have caused this? Is there a default that reverted possibly? 

 

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Josh

This probably won’t help… but several versions ago I had to add this to my CSS files to suppress them.

.draft-comment {
  display: none;
}

Maybe they are now suppressed by default and you have to unsuppress them?? (And if this doesn’t help, please ignore my comments.) :)

    ​@joshm19816095 : the draft-comments are suppressed by default in Native PDF now. Currently it is not configurable to turn on draft-comments in published output.

    Are you looking for a way to turn this on only for specific scenarios but not for final output? OR the final output on PDF should also show the draft-comments?

    ​@joshm19816095 via support ticket a change request was logged to allow template css to show the draft comment - which is to be handled in upcoming releases. Please work with support to get the release id to get this fix via upgrade.
