## Getting started with the Comments plugin - Selecting a mode

The Comments plugin offers two modes:

### Callback Mode

This default mode stores comments externally, such as in a database, and requires callback functions to manage comment data. For setup details, refer to: [Configuring the Comments plugin in Callback mode](../comments-callback-mode/).

### Embedded Mode

In this mode, comments are stored directly within the content, without needing callback configuration. For setup details, refer to: [Configuring the Comments plugin in Embedded mode](../comments-embedded-mode/).

> **Important:** [Comments](#) are only supported when TinyMCE is run in *classic* mode. Comments require the [Sidebar](../customsidebar/), and Sidebars are not supported in *inline* or *distraction free* mode. For more information on the differences between the editing modes, see [Inline editing mode](../use-tinymce-inline/).
