+## Cql File Comments
+
+There are a number of ways to add comments to your `cql` files. 
+
+For inline comments prepend `--` to your comment, e.g:
+
+    -- Select Queries
+    SELECT * FROM schema_updates;
+
+For multiline comments wrap them with `/*` and `*/`, e.g:
+
+    /*
+        Added by John Smith
+        19th September 2017
+    */
+    SELECT * FROM schema_updates;
