Usage Guidelines

When to use

Use Tooltip to provide additional context or descriptions for UI elements on hover or press.

Best practices

•

Use for supplementary information that is not essential to the task.

•

Keep tooltip text short — one sentence maximum.

•

Position tooltips to avoid obscuring important content.

Accessibility

Tooltip content is accessible via long-press on mobile and hover on web. Content is announced by screen readers.
