I'm not sure if this is something that can be done. I'm trying to create a dashboard via Sharepoint to collaborate with my coworkers on Word documents. The issue is, when I tag them or mention them in Word they lose the email. If I mention them multiple times and/or in different documents they're lost and confused. Is there a way with Automate that every comment mentioned in a document in our library can be transferred over to a list or task list? I want them to click on this page and see what their action items are. I would love it if they could see a list of comments directed at them, click on the comment (or something), it opens the linked document and directs them to the comment, they answer, exit, and can indicate they've completed this task or the task is concluded after they've responded. Is this something that can be done? Are there alternatives that others have used that helped them with a similar situation? Thanks in advance!

Sending MS Word Comments to a List on Sharepoint?

Hey

There aren't any built-in functionalities in Power Automate Desktop that easily allows interaction with Word comments, but you can create a flow that rather easily captures them. Once you got it captured in a variable, you can do anything with it I guess. I made a clip to showcase how to do it.
