How to communicate with an external agency

This guide will explain how to communicate with an external agency.

If you have shared a plan with an agency, you are able to communicate with them by leaving comments on the plan.

To communicate with an agency that has been granted access to a plan, either scroll down to the External agencies section of the shared plan or click on the External agencies option in the navigation menu.
