Users can leave text messages for others to see when they view the workflow.

All comments are attached to a workflow; if you want to comment on a specific step, mention the step in the comment. All comments are tagged with the user name of the registered FlowJo Envoy user that posted them, and the date and time the comment was posted. Comments are listed with the most recently posted at the top.
