When you split from an individual comment, all comments up to that point in the history of the documents will be automatically carried over to the new form.
The form you have split to will include a new section that displays the comments along with the attachment in those comments. The attachments in those comments will be selected by default and included on the new form.
You will have the option to exclude comments by unticking the include comments tick box at the time that you split
You also have the option to exclude attachments that are carried forward by unticking them in the attachments section.
When clicking on the Split button on the toolbar to perform a split, the comments will not be automatically selected. You can include them by ticking the include comments and attachments checkbox.
