First, you need to invite the Coment App (/invite @Coment) in a public or private channel to be available on that channel.
Then, every time you add a document to that channel, the app will automatically ask you if you want your team to comment, review or approve. If you select ‘Yes’, the app replies with a link to comment on it and review/approve it.
The app can be available on all public and private channels (use /invite @Coment to add it).
