    Hello Syndicate_Admin ,

     

    you can add descriptions to columns and measures

     

    you can also comment inside measures

     

    in Power Query you can add description to the steps applied through right clicking on the step and then click properties

    Also you can do the same to the tables

Note to add a comment to a particular step one has to do the step properties description update.
This will add the comment to that step within the code.  Then you are free to update the incode comment when direct editing the power query code (advanced editor {what a silly name :}) 
You would think that adding comments prior to a step within power query code then that comment would auto display in the pbi pq display steps (circle ! icon) but no not always :}
