Or use the ❗→ smart search.

What is this used for?​

  • For in-depth commenting on a specific action
    • you can leave a comment in the action itself too, but it's very limited there—just a few words. Sometimes you need a detailed description of the action, because at first glance it may not be obvious what the action actually does. You can find examples in the test projects available on the ❗→ Start page of ProjectMaker.

  • To comment on a large group of actions at once.
    • This is useful when your template gets so big that it's hard to visually keep track of what does what.

In the screenshot, the two separate branches of the template are highlighted with red frames (there could be many more), and above those branches, numbers 1 and 2 point to notes where you can simply write the name of what that part of the template does (“Product Search”, “Product Publish”), or you can add a detailed description of how the branch works.

  • If you want to share your ❗→ public template with others, you can use a note to leave a template description and/or your contact info.
