# What does the Comment box do?

## The comment box towards the bottom of the lefthand side allows you to make note on why you have or haven't included within your redaction.

The comment box is a freeform text box, which will allow you to insert notes to why you have redacted a document or if you have excluded a page/ document. This will enable you to go back and see why, which is useful when completing an audit or if someone is asking you why you haven't included something. 

To add comments to a document:

1. Select the document you are after from the document list.
2. Go to the lefthand side towards the bottom and click in the comment box.
3. Start typing to add your comments/ notes.
