  Dear WordPress Support Team,

  I hope this message finds you well.

  I’m planning to build a website using WordPress for an online bookstore. My goal is to not only sell eBooks via WooCommerce but also create a private section where our editorial team can store book manuscripts and collaborate using inline commenting features, similar to Google Docs.

  Before proceeding, I’d like to clarify a few points about WordPress capabilities:

  1. Does WordPress support real-time inline commenting natively, or will this require third-party plugins?
  2. Can anonymous commenting be enabled selectively on certain pages (e.g., book preview pages)?
  3. Are there best practices for managing private team collaboration alongside a public WooCommerce store?
  4. Is it possible to restrict public users from accessing internal manuscript pages and contacting team members?
  5. Can WordPress handle large document libraries and collaborative tools without affecting site performance?

  Any guidance or recommendations you can provide would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you for your time and support.

  Kind regards,
  Marphil Rey Tardio
