# Text Annotation

Text annotation is the standard comment shape that can be used to describe or give additional information about a single shape in the Process. Unlike Group shape, which is better used to name and describe a set of shapes, Text annotation is best used to comment a single shape in the Process, giving more information to either developers or support personnel to identify common/known issues or on how to continue developing the Process if it's still in development.
