you are probably seeking a method which will allow you to copy a cell(s) containing a comment(s) and paste such cell(s) in a way to keep those comments. unfortunately, such a method doesn't exist.
the only way to copy comments from a given sheet is to make a global copy of such sheet:
- go to File

- choose Copy comments
From Create, view, or save a file (pay attention to step 4)
