When I want to send a document to sign, I get this message "Account does not have permission to set Allow Comments" and I can't send it.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I understand that you get the message "Account does not have permission to set Allow Comments" and you cannot send it.

This error is normally prompted, when the account has the option to allow comments disabled at the backend, to confirm did you recently changed your account plan.

Are you creating the envelope from scratch or using a template?

If you need to confirm the account configuration at the backend, the DocuSign account Admin must create a case with DocuSign Support.

More information at How do I open a case in the DocuSign Support Center?

Note: Some advanced features and options are supported only in specific DocuSign plans. Your account plan might not support some options discussed in this help topic. Contact your account administrator for more information about which options are available for your account. Or, visit our Plans and Pricing web page for more details on the features included with your plan.

Dear DocuSign, I have already opened a case on the support center, that's why you mailed me.

Yes, I've changed my plan from the free monthly trial, to personal plan.

Since I've changed it yesterday, I can't use DocuSign, so please try to help me to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Best regards.


Hello,

The Personal plan does not include the option to set comments on the envelope, Are you creating the envelope from scratch or using a template?

If you create an envelope from scratch you should not have any issues.
