+=== It wasn't possible to add comments to selected footnotes elements.
+// #TINY-11842
+
+In previous versions of {productname}, it was not possible to add comments to footnotes (created by the xref:footnotes.adoc[Footnotes] plugin) when selecting the footnote element.
+
+As a result, attempting to add a comment would result in the comment being attached to a word outside the footnote as they were not considered valid block elements.
+
+{productname} {release-version} addresses this issue. Comments can now be added directly to the entire footnote element, similar to how comments are handled for figures and other comparable elements.
