The **Comments Title **block displays a title with the number of comments. The block
is nested inside the Comments block and allows you to customize the comment title.

You can only insert the **Comments Title** block inside a Comments block.

By default, the **Comments Title** block is included when you insert the Comments
block into the editor. However, you can still insert it manually when needed.

To add a **Comments Title **block, click the (+) icon inside the Comments block 
to open the block inserter window pop-up and look for the **Comments Title **block.

Alternatively, you can manually insert the **Comments Title **block using the keyboard
shortcut /comments-title.
