# How to Use the PDF Commenting Feature in Evia Sign

With Evia Sign, you can do more than just request signatures—you can also **post comments directly on the document** to provide instructions, clarifications, or feedback. Whether you're the document requester or a signer, this feature helps streamline communication without endless back-and-forth emails.

## **How to Post a Comment When Sending a Signature Request**

### **Step 1: Upload your document & start the signature request**

Follow the usual process to send a document for signing.
