There is no real support for block comments, so you basically need to
comment all lines individually with '#'.

With larger blocks you could use Robot's feature that it ignores
tables it cannot recognize at parsing time. For example this has only
two tests:

*** Test Cases ***
My test
My keyword

*** Ignored ***
My ignored test
My ignored keyword

*** Test Cases ***
My second test
My keyword

*** Comment ***
Also this stuff is ignored

*** Keywords ***
My keyword
No operation

Thank you for your response .peke. When I create a table *** Comment ***, the text is commented out, however when the script is saved, I run into a "Can not apply changes from Txt Editor - Error: Data sanity check failed! Reset changes?" and the changes are reverted. Please advise.

If you put the keyword Comment just before the keyword it should work.

if you use RIDE you can just right-click and click "Comment Row" and it will do it for you.

Using the Keyword comment before keyword(s) reverted the changes, however I'll go back to commenting the rows from Ride editor.

Thanks N.T.
