# How to Add and Manage Comments on an Envelope

Use comments to discuss specific content inside an envelope, control who can see each thread, and keep discussions organized until they are resolved.

1. Open an envelope.
2. In the header, click the <img src="/files/VFFvsDJ6OHupnzGcci5G" alt="" data-size="line"> icon.
