I would like to be able to write a comment to myself on each envelope for any outstanding envelopes waiting to be fully signed. There are some that the signer is holding for some time, and I would like to add a comment that they are holding so that I don’t keep resending. Or if the signers could write a comment or send me a comment to the person who created the envelope so that we know that they are not ready to sign and approve yet so that we are not just waiting or keep sending reminders.

@Jenny.Martin - the feature you advised re “Use Comments To Ask and Answer Questions About a Document ?” is not the desired additional feature. This feature is initiated by the receiver.  I too would like the same as ​@MGC - the ability as the Sender of an envelope to add a Note to it so that myself and others on my team who I share my DocuSign with can see these.

Hello ​@JacobG,

I hope you’re doing well. Thanks for reaching out to the Docusign Community.

The sender can initiate or apply comments to the envelope. When correcting an envelope, the sender can view existing comments and add new comments as needed.

@Jenny.Martin :

I’m not sure that’s quite what people are looking for. While adding comments to the documents in the envelope can be useful - it doesn’t seem to fill the need of making a note on the envelope itself. For example, if, as @mgc mentioned, there is a signer who you (the sender) knows is waiting to sign for awhile. You (the sender) could leave a note for yourself (ie John will sign when he’s back from vacation) so that you don’t keep sending reminders to sign.

This sort of “note” would need to be visible OUTSIDE the envelope (as a column in the “waiting for others” list, perhaps) - so that you don’t need to open every envelope to see if you’ve left a note.

thanks
