\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
\label{rev:2}
\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 \autoref{comment:work-not-good} was mean! (We can use the \verb|\autoref| command.)
\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 \autoref{rev:2}~\cite{ReviewerReference} is now number [2].
