Comment

Why it matters

    Question[Question] --> Comment[Comment]
    Comment --> Context[Visible context]

Comments give teams a lightweight way to attach questions, review feedback, and decision context to work without silently changing the governed record itself.

How it works

flowchart LR
    Record[Record] --> Comment[Comment layer]
    Comment --> Decision[Decision context]

Commenting creates a discussion layer around the record or workflow step. It keeps the conversation close to the work while preserving the difference between discussing a change and actually making one.

When to use it

    Need[Need clarification] --> Comment[Use comment]
    Change[Need data change] --> Edit[Edit workflow]

This concept matters when reviewers need clarification, want to leave feedback, or need to record discussion around a pending decision.

What to watch for

flowchart LR
    Comment[Comment] --> Support[Supports change]
    Comment --> NotChange[Not the change itself]

Comments do not replace a formal data change, approval decision, or audit event. They support those workflows; they are not a substitute for them.
