Comment on a control
Hierdie inhoud is nog nie in jou taal beskikbaar nie.
Each control has its own comments. Use them to post progress updates, ask questions and attach evidence, such as a signed report or a photo of finished work. Everyone who opens the control sees them.

Section titled “What happens next”- Your comment appears at the bottom of the list, with your name and how long ago you posted it. Point at the time to see the full date and time.
- Attached files appear under the comment with their names and sizes. Select a file to open it in a new tab.
- On the risk’s Controls tab, the control’s row shows how many comments and files it has.

Posting a comment doesn’t send anyone a notification. If someone needs to read it, tell them.
Read earlier comments
Section titled “Read earlier comments”The panel shows the five latest comments. To see older ones, select Show … earlier comments at the top of the list. A control with no comments shows “No comments yet” and “Post progress updates, questions or files for this control.”
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| “… is larger than 20 MB.” | One of the files is too big. It wasn’t added. | Make the file smaller, for example by saving a PDF at a lower quality, or split it. |
| “You can attach up to 5 files per comment.” | The comment already has five files. | Send it, then post the other files in another comment. |
| “Couldn’t post your comment. Please try again.” | Sending failed. Nothing was saved. | Try again. Your text and files are still in the box. |
- Attach evidence when you finish. A comment with the signed report or photo makes the control easy to check at the next review or audit.
- Discuss the whole risk in its Discussion tab. Use a control’s comments for that control only. See A risk’s page.
