How to manage collaborative comments in TFS 2017

In Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2017 commenting on changesets is enhanced with additional functionality supporting markdown, "@ Mentions" that notify a person they were mentioned, and so on. There is also a nice drop down with status such as "pending", "won't fix" etc.

I've not found any documentation indicating how to leverage this, such as a list of "pending" comments, "won't fix" etc.

I'm utilizing TFS 2017 Update 2 on premise. Any ideas on how to organize, review, and manage this? These seem completely separate from the "Request Code Review" functionality.

Code Review function requires Team Explorer/Visual Studio, it's a client based feature.

Adding comments on web portal is web based feature. You can only see them on web portal.

Regarding the status of comments on web portal, there are five status: Active, Pending, Resolved, Won't fix, and Closed. When you add a new comment, the status is Active. You could change the status to Pending when you work on this comment, if the issue/query in the comment is resolved, change the status to Resolved, otherwise, change it to Won't fix. After verifying the changes, you could change the status to Closed.
