setting to open sidebar with comments by default

Please create a preferences setting so that the commenting sidebar opens by default when opening a document. That's what I use 99% of the time, and it's irritating to have to open that up every single time.

    Looking for the same feature & more (e.g. opening the comment sidebar in folder level javascript, which I have not found a way to achieve).

    But still I found this one-click-through-tools-pane-sidebar-on-the-right, which is way more convenient that going through "View/Tools/Comment/Open" sequence of menu clicks (4 clicks total), or "Tools/Comment" sequence, which costs 2 clicks.

    Please do this one. It drives me batty having to reopen the Comments bar every time I open a PDF.

    Yes please fix this. There used to be at least a button on the toolbar for opening the commenting tools directly, but that seems to be gone with the most recent update I got ( 20.009.20074; now there's only sign and edit buttons) and having to go through the Tools menu every time is annoying. Thanks.

    This is the most annoying thing. PLEASE allow me to keep comments open as a setting. Editors need this preference.

    I´m an editor and I work with marked-up pdfs all day long. I also need the same, I mean, to have the comments pane available right away everytime I open any pdf file. This would make my reviews and reporting way easier.
