Before approving an estimate, your clients may reply to further discuss.

In order to reply to your estimate they need to open the estimate preview  (Sales -> Estimates) -> by clicking on estimate name on the grid➝ click ‘Message History’ ➝ insert their comment and click ‘Send’.

The account owner, admins, and leaders can respond to client comments in the same way.

They can also comment on an estimate in the estimate’s history at the bottom of the estimate preview page. Click on ‘+ Add Comment’ ➝ enter your comment and click ‘Add Comment’.

These comments will be visible to all users of your account (account owner, staff members, clients, tax consultant)
