# Messaging and Restrictions In powerlily you can optionally share messages and files with your customers through the quote that you send. To turn on messages open the messages sidebar and turn the toggle on. With this active both you and your customer (the quote recipient) will be able to post messages to the quote. A small icon will appear in the navigation bar for your recipient. ## Restrictions Anyone with the link to your quote other than yourself and those in your company will need to verify their email address before being able to post messages to a quote. This ensures that there can be no anonymous posting. To verify their email address quote recipients will need to enter their email address to have an email sent to them with an access token. You can further restrict access by ensuring that only the intended quote recipient (i.e. an email address matching the one assigned to the client on this quote) can attempt to verify their email address. Finally you can restrict access to the quote by ensuring that only a person who has received an email from powerlily containing the link & token will be able to access the quote.
