Comments
A Comment is used to embed user readable annotations in the steps of a task, usually with the purpose of making the task easier to understand. Comments can be used to summarize the task, explain the intent of a specific step, document instructions, enter notes, reminders or other important information. Comments are ignored by during runtime. For debugging convenience, the Comments Debug Panel displays each comment embedded in a task and their associated step number. For easy detection, the default color for an added comment is green, however, this color can be modified via the Task Builder Color Options.

Comments can be added from the Debug panel as well by clicking the Comments tab, right-clicking inside the panel and selecting Add... from the context menu.
