You will be able to respond to text with a simple symbol rather than a full written comment with the new support for the emoji reactions. In an announcement post, the company says the feature supports all the emoji available in the latest release, which includes gender-neutral options and symbols like melting face and biting lip.

There are three options when you highlight text: Add Comment,Suggest edits, and the emoji reaction feature. You can type in the search term. A less formal alternative to comments can be found in these responses.

Modern software has become a staple of it's own, and is available in a number of messaging apps and social networks. The service is undergoing a major redesign and is expanding from being a word processor to a remote working tool.

A new pageless layout and the ability to easily draft emails from a document are some of the new features announced recently.

By default, the reactions will be on, and they can't be disabled. They are rolling out now for rapid release domains, but will be available to most users after April 20th. They will be available for the basic tiers of the service, but not the more advanced tiers.
