Writing Notes in Grasshopper for Future Reference

Hi there,

When I work on complex documents, I'd like to know what was I thinking at a certain point in grasshopper when I open that document again in a month or so, like if I used a certain command and wanna know why I used that when I get back to the file a month later, a note around the command would be helpful.

Grouping it and changing the group name to whatever I wanna write might work but if the note is a long one, then it complicates everything, I can also use the panel tool but then it just makes the already complex document even more confusing. Is there a tool that I can just use to write notes in grasshopper? I tried looking it up by typing "text", "tag", "note" and nothing really came up. I know I saw something like that before but I am not sure which tool they used for that.

Thank you in advance.

There's a scribble object, it's just text. You can initiate one quickly by typing a tilde into the double-click search box and then entering your text. Scribbles can be moved around and oriented if holding Ctrl or Shift while dragging. Double click the scribble to change the text or font, but you cannot at present change the colour.
