Dear DocuSign Support Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I have some questions regarding the comment functionality in the document review and signing process within DocuSign envelopes:

  1. Why am I unable to delete comments when reviewing documents in DocuSign envelopes?
  2. Do the comments made within the envelope workflow hold any legal value?

I would appreciate your clarification on these matters. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Hi ​@hades !

Currently, it is not possible to delete comments precisely because all actions must be formalized in the envelope history, and, also, recipients receive the all comments by email.

Regarding 'legal value', I would recommend you check with your legal department and analyze it on a case-by-case basis, but generally I would say "no". Comments are best used when you're signing a document and you have questions about it, or disagree with something in it, so you can communicate with the sender from inside the envelope.
