How to make comment only visible for the current login user?

[wenyongqd]

Our current implementation is that the comments is visible for all users, what I want is the comment is only visible for the login user.
The thing I could think of is to filler the comments with userId, and pass the filtered comments to the comment provider. But when the other user open the comment, the comment underline is still there, the reason probably is the comment field is true:

but since I passed filtered comments, when clicking the underline, the comment will gong because it can not find the associated comment from the filtered comments.

Assuming your guest users aren't able to modify the document, the simplest solution would probably be to filter the Slate value you're sending to them from the server. You can use Plate's helper functions to do this on the server if you create a temporary editor instance, or you can treat the Slate value as a plain JS object and filter out the comments by hand.

One alternative solution that would also work if guest users need to have edit access would be to disable the comment plugin on the client, so comments remain in the Slate value but are inert.

Thanks for your quick response.
If I make comment and comment_6tepFE6vsjravHEubkqa7 to false, will the comment underline will disappear?
or I can manually remove comment and comment_6tepFE6vsjravHEubkqa7 in the filter

Setting comment to false would probably work, although removing them entirely would be more idiomatic.

The 6tepFE6vsjravHEubkqa7 will be different for each comment, so you'll have to filter Object.keys by startsWith('comment') to determine which properties to remove.

sounds good, thanks!
