# 9.5. Comments and History
If you want to contact someone about a record in Pure, you can send them a message from that record. This method helps to avoid of the use of print screens, and long correspondence. Writing a comment on a record **depends on the workflow state**. For example, if a publication has gone through the validation process, writing a comment is no longer possible. In this case, please feel free to contact the RM at [pure@pmu.ac.at](mailto:pure@pmu.ac.at).
To write a comment about a record:
1. Search for the record.
2. Go on *Comments and History.*
3. Click on *Write a comment about the content:*

Make sure, that you select the checkboxes next to the names, otherwise no message is sent. If **admins** are also affected, please only select **Mária Klein** and **Konstantin Thiel**:

5. Click on *Save.** *
In the next step, users are alerted, and they will see your comment alongside a link to the content.
