To enable this feature or change the default settings, complete the following steps.

     checkbox.
  3. Make any other changes using the fields in this window.

    Prompt for a user-entered comment for each backup
     checkbox is marked, the
    Archive Client

     window to elect whether or not to back up the plan to FileCabinet CS and to enter a comment or description to be stored with the plan.
