All the data in all the columns is editable. The same way you can edit text, you can also alter the timings, subtitle number/ID or a comment. Comments are a useful and convenient way to leave a note, either to yourself or to anybody else. They are commonly used to point to something that needs checking, possible error or needs improvement.
Subtitles containing comments will be marked by a red flag, both in the main area as well as in the Mini Subtitles (Minititles). When in Presentation Mode, a Comment will be in the upper left area.
