The Comment step allows you to add informational text to a task workflow. A Comment step can be added anywhere within a task workflow, including within File Loops and Conditional branches, to document workflow behavior and implementation details.
Comments can be used to:
- Document the purpose of a task.
- Explain the purpose of specific workflow sections.
- Record implementation notes for administrators and operators.
- Provide reminders or operational instructions.
Comments are displayed within the task workflow but are not executed as part of task processing.
