SigningHub lets the document owner, and the recipients add document comments with in the workflows. The document owner and the recipients can add document comments to a workflow for which the document owner has allowed document comments. Document comments can be added in all modes. i.e. Draft, Pending, In-progress, Signed, Declined, Approved, Submitted, and Completed. Once a document comment is added, depending on whether it is a public comment or a private comment, the users will be notified (via push notifications/on-screen notifications/email notifications) as per their personal notification settings and enterprise notification settings. In case the user is a document owner, the "When my documents are processed by others" notification setting will be followed. In case the user is a recipient, the "When there are subsequent changes in documents that I received" notification setting will be followed.
