Use a Comment step to say why the steps around it are there, for the next person who edits the pipeline. The step list shows its text on the card, so it reads without opening the step. Every record passes it unchanged.
A Comment step can sit anywhere a step can, including in an If step's branches. To say why one line of a calculation is the way it is, write a comment inside a Code step instead.
