Adding text annotation in processes

A text annotation provides additional information about a process or an individual element in a process. You can use text annotation to describe complex tasks, terminologies, more information about tasks, and so on. Text annotations help the user to understand and perform a process smoothly. A text annotation is used for information purpose only and is not involved in any kind of process function or activity.

An example of a text annotation is shown in the following image:
