# Comments in steps

> You can create a step that allows workflow users to leave comments.

There are different ways in which you can get feedback on the workflow.

* If you're building a workflow, you can add [building notes](/docs/add-notes-to-process)
* If you want your internal workflow users to chime in, they can ask questions or add comments in [Conversations](/docs/learn-next-matter-as-process-participant).

However, you can also add a comment field as a separate and optional form field. This way, even if you assign the step to an external user, they'll be able to add notes or comment on a workflow.

1. Click **Workflows**.
2. Click **... > Edit workflow** for the workflow you want to edit.
3. Click the step to which you want to add the commenting option.
4. Click **+ Add form field** and select **Text Input**.
5. Click the **Settings** icon on the form field.
6. Rename the field to Comment or Note and make it **Optional**.

7. Click **Save changes**.

The added notes become part of the workflow and are visible to everyone even after workflow completion.

<Tip>
  When you run an instance of the workflow and click **Save** instead of **Complete**, then the comment is saved and visible the next time you work with the workflow.
