Export Comments in Altium 365
Altium 365 makes it easy to export the whole comment history as a PDF file for historical, legal, or auditing purposes. For how to leave comments, see Commenting in Your Design.
You can export comments history from Altium Designer and from the web interface of Altium 365 (see item #6). However, in order for the comments history to become available in the web interface, you need to release the project first.
Select Reports > Export Comments from the Top Menu. A dialog box with the details of the “Configuration” will open. Click on Export and save the PDF file.

You can also define an Output Job to combine a new report each time you perform a Release. In the left side panel, select Settings > Output Files > Assembly.OutJob. Output Job files will appear in the Projects panel under the Settings\Output Job Files sub-folder when added to a project.

Comments are compiled and exported to a PDF file. As a result, you will see the list of comments when you open the PDF file, as well as the design snapshots if you selected them.
Entire design snapshots: it takes the entire design snapshot followed by the list of comments. This option exports the comments and snapshot on separate pages of the PDF:
