The Now Platform® Washington DC release is live. Watch now!
Have you ever coded a complex function or customization, only to look at it later and realize you forgot to annotate it with comments, or skipped this step to save time? In this first installment of our best practices series, we look at the importance of accurately commenting your scripts and customizations.

Providing helpful comments as part of the development and upgrade process is well worth the effort and can save you and others a lot of time and trouble later. Most code is read many more times than it is written. Give your future self (and colleagues) insight into your thoughts! Here's what we recommend.
When writing scripts or customizing records, follow these best practices to avoid confusion.
