# Tooltip

### Use cases:

✅ When you want to provide additional information or context about an element on the page, such as the purpose of a button or the meaning of an icon.

✅ When you want to guide users on how to use a particular feature or provide instructions on how to perform a task.&#x20;

✅ When you want to clarify a term or concept that may be unfamiliar to some users.

### Not to use cases

❌ When the information provided in the tooltip is critical for the user to understand the functionality or purpose of an element, as tooltips can easily be missed or ignored.&#x20;

❌ When the tooltip is too long or detailed, as it may overwhelm the user with too much information at once.&#x20;

&#x20;❌ When the tooltip overlaps with other elements on the page, making it difficult to read or interact with.&#x20;
