Commenting in the Policy Editor

Vanta now supports commenting on any policy document using our in-product Policy editor! Users can now quickly leave comments directly within the policy document. With the ability to edit and delete comments, the team gains complete control over the collaborative process.

Please note that commenting is only available in the policy editor, and is unavailable when using the Policy builder tool

Adding a Comment

  • From the left-hand navigation panel, select Policies 
  • When creating a new version or creating a policy from scratch using the Policy editor, you have the opportunity to leverage the comment feature

Keep in Mind 

  • Comments made within the policy editor are not visible in the final approved policy version, which is converted into a PDF. This ensures that employees or auditors do not see any internal discussions or notes made during the policy drafting process when they review the approved policies.
