Why this helps
Review tasks lose useful context when the reminder is separated from the document being reviewed.
- Keep review context with the file.
- Make the requested review easier to locate.
- Reduce switching between task and document.

- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to comment on the specific existing Drive file named in a new review task, using the task's request as the comment.
