How to Add a Comment to a DRI

You can add comments to your design issues to communicate key information between the parties involved in the Design issue.

There are 2 types of comments you can add to a Design Issue.

Public Comments

Public comments are accessible and can be seen by any user who has access to the Design Issue.

Internal Comments

Internal comments are only accessible to the author and other users who belong to the same company as the author of that comment.
