# How do I turn on reader comments?

_Category: Design and templates_

Add the **Comments** component to your Article page in the template editor, then publish. Every article then gets a comment form at the bottom.

1. In the left menu, click **Template editor**. Open **Pages**, pick **Article** in the page menu, then the **Main** region.
2. Under **After the article**, click **Add to "After the article"** and pick **Comments**.
3. Click **Publish**.

Add Comments to the Article page, then publish.

Readers leave their name, email and comment. While **Require approval** is on, which it is by default, new comments wait for your approval before other readers see them. Approve and answer them in **Comments** in the left menu, which appears once you publish the design with the Comments component.

Owners and Admins can add the component (Editors through **Customize** on your help center), and Owners, Admins and Editors can approve comments. It works on every plan.
