We would like to submit a feature request for DocuSign Request regarding the visibility of approval comments.

Business Requirement

Our approval workflow includes multiple approvers from different departments. Each approver should be able to review and submit their own approval decision without seeing comments made by other approvers.

We would like to have the ability to configure approval comment visibility as follows:

  • Each Approver can view only their own approval comments.
  • The Submitter can view all approval comments.
  • Approvers cannot view comments left by other approvers.

Business Value

In many approval scenarios, approvers provide confidential or independent feedback. Allowing approvers to view each other's comments may influence their decisions or expose information that should remain confidential.

Providing configurable comment visibility would help organizations:

  • Maintain the independence of each approval decision.
  • Protect confidential approval comments.
  • Improve compliance with internal approval policies.
  • Give submitters complete visibility while limiting visibility for approvers.

We believe this capability would be valuable for organizations with complex approval workflows and would appreciate your consideration for a future enhancement.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
