While on the Workflow Editor, I commented out a few lines referring to some steps, but I wanted to have those lines still on the bitrise.yml, and unfortunately once I saved it and I switched to another tab, it removed it all ☹

There were several similar issues/discussions. Look here: [Saving comments in Bitrise.yml?](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/saving-comments-in-bitrise-yml/423)  
There is a different way for disabling steps: [https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/disable-a-step-by-condition/#disable-a-step](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/disable-a-step-by-condition/#disable-a-step)

Might it be very helpful to advise this in bold red on the top of the Workflow Editor?
