 Leaving comments is a good idea as it helps others understand your code, but they should be accurate and up-to-date because otherwise the comments could be misleading.
 Each individual command icon in Flowcode can have its own comment (the "Display Name"), so this Comment icon is best used to provide additional detail for a section of code.
