Tooltips typically appear on roll-overs or by clicking a help icon to add context to an unfamiliar concept or action. Tooltips should be informative but very short.

Tooltips should:

• Add clarity, define an unfamiliar term, or give the user help with an action or selection
• Be less than 150 characters
• Use full sentences, and be in sentence case

Keep tooltips short and informative.

Do not use tooltips to display errors.
