Working with plan comments

Free text can be added to a plan by typing text as comments. These comments will have user information and time stamps assiciated with them for auditing purposes. By adding comments, you can include a paper trail about modifications made to the plan, notes regarding plan updates, or a notation that a plan is discontinued. Adding comments can be particularly helpful for shared plans that have multiple contributors.
