When comments and edits are allowed
Whether you can comment or edit depends on the policy’s current status.
Policy status | Comments | Edits |
Draft | Allowed | Allowed |
Needs approval | Not allowed | Not allowed |
Approved | Not allowed | Not allowed |
Published | Not allowed | Not allowed |
Add comments to a policy
Open Governance → Policies.
Open the policy you want to review.
Select the Policy tab.
Highlight the text you want to comment on.
Select the Comment icon.
Enter your comment and submit.
Comments are disabled in all other statuses.
How comments are retained
Comments remain attached to the policy when its status changes.
Moving a policy back to Draft does not remove existing comments.
Comments are visible only within the Policy Center and are not visible to personnel in My Drata.
This helps maintain feedback history during revisions.
