Adding comments to the feature list

Happy Friday!
I wanted to share a little tip that I developed in collaboration with Matt and Matt at Onshape - inspired by my 7th grade son's Onshape experience.
The trick is to create a variable - type Any. The information you type into the description will show up as a tooltip. You can see here that my Variable is named Info1 and has a value of "spur" The description gives information about the steps that come afterward. I find this a bit more convenient from an instruction practice rather than using comments. I think of it almost like commenting out my code. I hope in the future Onshape will add the ability to include a description for any feature.

It's also better than my method of creating an empty sketch with a really really long name!
You could name the variable to match a Folder of features or something to tie it to a set of subsequent features.
