Published policies now include a Policy Comments section on the Policy Information page. This allows staff who are responsible for managing policies to add notes or feedback.
Staff who do not have policy management permissions will not see the option to add comments.
You might use this feature to flag something for the Policy Owner, such as “There is an error in paragraph three” or “Please review the final section before the next publish”.
