# Expense Comments All expense comments are private, only visible to the submitter and the admins. This is because they often contain private payment info. Comments on expenses are the best way to add information, check the status, or ask questions. If you comment on an expense, the submitter, core contributor, and fiscal host admin will be notified. Common uses for expense comments: * Clarifying or adding details about the expense, to help others understand why it's legitimate or what it was for * Marked as incomplete: Requesting missing documentation (like a receipt or tax form) * Following up if an expense has not been paid for a while * Thanking the submitter for the work they did --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.donatepr.com/expenses-and-getting-paid/expense-comments.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
