Adding Notes for Writers, Reviewers, Approvers, and Assignees

When selecting writers, reviewers, approvers, and assignees in the Properties Wizard, you can include a note with instructions or other information concerning the writing, review, approval, or reading/completion of the document or questionnaire. Any note you write is included in the task notification email sent to assigned users as soon as the document/questionnaire moves to the status for which the note was written. For example, if you include a note while working on the Approvers step, that note will be sent as soon as the document/questionnaire moves to Approval. An assignee can also access a note from within the document/questionnaire (see Reviewing Notes for details).
