Place the macro/group inline in your flow or off to the side and it will render a large thumbnail of the input when the group or anything downstream is active in a viewer.
Place these billboards at key areas around a complex comp and find your way around easily even when the flow is zoomed out.
Turn on the text overlay for an easy-to-read nameing, version numbers, reminders or whatever else you desire.
Also, the displayed node inside the group is a paint tool. So with that node active, you can hand write a remark.
