How to Add Comments to a Proposal as an Approver

To add comments to a proposal, reviewers can navigate directly to the Workflow tab on the CourseLeaf Dashboard or click on the Page Approval link that is included in the automated email sent when it is their step in the workflow process.

Once on the dashboard, follow the Understanding the CourseLeaf Dashboard instructions to open the appropriate proposal in the Approval Screen.

Comments can be added to the selected proposal in two ways:

  1. Using the Comment Button in the Proposal Preview window.
  2. Opening the proposal and adding comments to the Review Comments field.

Add a Comment in the Proposal Preview

With the proposal opened in the Approval Screen, click the green Add Comment Button along the top right side of the Proposal Preview.
