If I [package a subflow as an installable module](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/subflow-modules) is there any way of adding help text that will appear in the help panel in the editor?

Did you add a description on the subflow properties? You can write standard node-red style docs using html or markdown (see the style guide in the docs), Not sure if it appears in the help or info tab (would need to take a look)

Yes it does, thanks, provided you use the correct Description field, which I wasn't. This one:
