How to Enable Commenting on Objects in Smart UI

OpenText Content Server allows commenting as a form of communication.

Ever needed a quick way to tack on a virtual sticky note for your colleagues to read?

A great way for users to communicate across folders is by using the comment section. For example, you may indicate that a file is a dummy or pending approval, before a collaborator deletes it by mistake.

You may also include emoticons or attachments in the comment section. Attachments could comprise of screenshots, helpful cat GIFs, or an additional document for context.
