# Comments Resource

The comments resource provides a method that enables you to download a PDF file containing all of the comments that recipients and the sender have added to the documents in an envelope.

Comments are disabled by default. To use the comments feature, an account administrator must enable comments on the account (in the `accountSettingsInformation` object, set the `enableSigningExtensionComments` property to **true**).

For more information, see [Comments Settings](https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=pik1583277475390\&topicId=odr1583277453624.html).
