Comment on a Document

You use the Team Review as a forum for discussion of items and issues within the project, so when you read a Document on a particular point (or a response to that Document) you might want to respond with your own Comment.

You can create a Comment directly from the Document you are responding to, from material that you want to use as your response, or from a predefined document template.
