How to change the text under each tool to a custom description / comment?

In reviewing a colleague's workflow today, I noticed that they changed the default text under their tools to provide their own custom description. 


How do I do that?

 

Example: On the Formula tool, the caption defaults to the formula in the configuration.

How would I change "c = a+b" to my own custom comment?

 

I have been using the Comment tool or Container tool but this looks more simple.

There is a tag icon in the config panel, 2 icons under the wrench.  Check it out!

step 1. Click on a tool 

step 2 . Click on Annotation on left side

Enter text and you can move annotation to top or bottom of tool ( in this example I have entered "Input Location URL"

 

Wrench is used for Configuration ( hover the mouse over ) , Navigation Comes next , Annotation comes next , ? ( help ) is last 

This will show up on left side when a new tool is input into canvas
