% Response to Editor
\editor
\begin{generalcomment}
	The reviewer(s) have suggested some minor revisions to your manuscript. Therefore, I invite you to respond to the reviewer(s)' comments and revise your manuscript.
\end{generalcomment}
\begin{revresponse}[We appreciate your handling of the review process.]
	According to the reviewers' comments, we have checked our manuscript and addressed them in the following way:
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item We added content.
		\item We removed our wrong statements in Section~I.
	\end{enumerate}
\end{revresponse}


% Reviewer 1
\reviewer
\begin{generalcomment}
	General comment about the work.
\end{generalcomment}
\begin{revresponse}[Thank you for your feedback.]
	We have carefully addressed all the issues item by item as follows.
\end{revresponse}

\begin{revcomment}
	Your work is really good. However, you should change the title.
\end{revcomment}
\begin{revresponse}
	We agree that the title is somewhat misleading.
	We therefore changed it in the current version of the manuscript.
\end{revresponse}

\begin{revcomment}
	Everything else is really good.
\end{revcomment}
\begin{revresponse}
	We totally agree. We also added the following to the new version of the manuscript
	\begin{changes}
		This really important sentence was added to the paper.
	\end{changes}
\end{revresponse}

% Reviewer 2
\reviewer
\begin{generalcomment}
	In general, the work is well-written. However, I have the following concerns.
\end{generalcomment}
\begin{revresponse}[Thank you for your feedback.]
	We have carefully addressed all the issues item by item as follows.
\end{revresponse}

\begin{revcomment}\label{comment:work-not-good}
	The work is not really good.
\end{revcomment}
\begin{revresponse}
	:(
\end{revresponse}

\begin{revcomment}
	You forgot to cite a very important reference (where I am an author)!
\end{revcomment}
\begin{revresponse}
	We are aware that citations on Google Scholar are very important to you.
	Therefore, we added reference \cite{ReviewerReference}.
	
	Also check out our article \cite{Besser2020}.
	
	\printpartbibliography{ReviewerReference,Besser2020}
	
	And btw, your Comment~\ref{comment:work-not-good} was mean!
\end{revresponse}


\reviewer
\begin{revcomment}
	Did you know, that the references can be separated for the individual reviewers?
\end{revcomment}
\begin{revresponse}
	Yes. When using \href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex}{biblatex}, you can use the \texttt{refsection=section} option to achieve that.
	If we cite a new reference like \cite{Besser2021} here, it will again be number [1].
	
	Note that you might have to run \texttt{pdflatex} and \texttt{biber} multiple times.
	
	And reference [1] for Reviewer 2~\cite{ReviewerReference} is now number [2].
	
	\printpartbibliography{Besser2021,ReviewerReference}
