Comments and proposals rework

Feature ideasSend and signEditor

Comment on exactly what you mean. Today a comment attaches to a whole paragraph, so pointing at one sentence marks everything around it. Soon you'll select the words you're talking about and comment on those, the way you would in any modern editor.

Counterparties will actually find it. The most common thing we hear is that external reviewers don't notice comments exist and send their feedback by email instead — so the discussion leaves the contract, and the audit trail with it. Commenting is being made obvious for everyone who opens a document, including people who can only read it.

Know why something was rejected. Right now a proposal is accepted or rejected and that's the end of it. You'll be able to reply before deciding, so the other side gets a reason rather than a silent no.

See what happened in the activity log. Today it records that someone accepted or declined a proposal — but not which one. The log will show the change, the comment behind it, and who decided what.

    Undo / revert for comments & change requests (before sending to customer)

    Problem: If the user adds a comment/change request while reviewing, he can’t delete/undo it later. In Word, he’d clean up before sending the final version to the customer.

    Benefit: prevents accidental disclosure of internal review notes to customers; makes the review workflow usable.

    Potential solution: allow deleting comments/change requests or “resolve & hide” internal annotations before sharing/sending.

    Ability to remove internal comments before sharing documents

    When collaborating on a document, teams often leave internal comments, notes, or change requests during drafting. Before sharing the document with external parties, these comments sometimes need to be cleaned up.

    Currently, comments can only be set to internal visibility, but they cannot be fully removed because comments are tied to the activity log and audit trail.

    Benefits

    • Cleaner documents when sharing with external parties

    • More flexibility during internal collaboration

    • Ability to remove accidental or irrelevant comments (e.g., typos, outdated remarks)

    • Maintains a professional experience when sending documents for review or signature

    Proposed Solution

    Introduce a “soft delete” option for comments. This would allow users to remove comments from the visible document while preserving the audit trail internally, ensuring compliance and traceability.

    This would help teams tidy up documents before sharing while still maintaining a reliable activity history.

    Unable to delete comments

    It would be helpful to delete comments or specific replies. Currently, the only method that at least hides them from external users is marking them as “internal.”
