Hi, you can add metadata configuration associated with the top section of your form being displayed in each step:

Depends on your situation, could
use JavaScript to append it on the step
add a (html) Web Resource with your content to the dataverse form, and set the Advanced Form Step->Form Definition tab "Render Web Resources Inline" field (checkbox)
Can possibly try adding HTML to the subgrid's or sections metadata "Label" field (think I remember this rendering the HTML)

Thank you @Fubar and @OliverRodrigues . I have added a new Section above the subgrid, and then used metadata to change the label and inject the html instructions into it. you guys rock.
