Adding comments on help content

You can provide feedback on help content easily using the commenting pane at the bottom of each help page. Your effort helps improve overall documentation quality. This system is closely monitored by the writers responsible for the content, so you may see a follow-up reply from other members of the Rational® documentation team or other people on your comments.

Commenting provides a way for you to communicate with the technical documentation team and other people who develop and use Rational Software tools. Ask questions and share ideas, issues, and insights; however, please stick to technical issues. Remember: do not enter confidential information; all comments are public.
