1 Introduction
An annotation is an element that can be used to put comments to a flow.
In the example below, you use a Show message activity to warn end-users about unpaid orders with a pop-up message in the client. Later you want to extend this warning with an email message send to the user. You can use an annotation as a reminder and put it above the current activity.
