Vanta now supports commenting on any policy document using our in-product Policy editor! Users can now quickly leave comments directly within the policy document. With the ability to edit and delete comments, the team gains complete control over the collaborative process.
Please note that commenting is only available in the policy editor, and is unavailable when using the Policy Builder tool.
Adding a Comment
From the left-hand navigation panel, select Policies
When creating a new version or creating a policy from scratch using the Policy editor, you have the opportunity to leverage the comment feature
Once in the document, highlight the text you would like to comment on and select the comment icon
Select the check mark to post the comment and the x to discard
To add additional comments, click the yellow text and add your comment in the reply field
Deleting Comments
Select the yellow text, and the comment will appear
Select the Trash can Icon
Keep in mind that deleting the top comment will delete the entire thread
Keep in Mind
Comments made within the policy editor are not visible in the final approved policy version, which is converted into a PDF. This ensures that employees or auditors do not see any internal discussions or notes made during the policy drafting process when they review the approved policies.
