Getting started with the Comments plugin - Selecting a mode

The Comments plugin offers two modes:

Callback Mode

This default mode stores comments externally, such as in a database, and requires callback functions to manage comment data. For setup details, refer to: Configuring the Comments plugin in Callback mode.

Embedded Mode

In this mode, comments are stored directly within the content, without needing callback configuration. For setup details, refer to: Configuring the Comments plugin in Embedded mode.

Comments are only supported when TinyMCE is run in classic mode. Comments require the Sidebar, and Sidebars are not supported in inline or distraction free mode. For more information on the differences between the editing modes, see Inline editing mode.
