Tooltips

A tooltip is a small indicator — a question mark, info glyph, dot, pulse, or a NEW/BETA badge — anchored next to any element. Hovering or clicking it opens a popover with a title, body, and an optional CTA that can open a link or even start a tour. Unlike a tour, a tooltip just sits there until it's needed. The anchors below show the id selector to attach a tooltip to in the StepsKit dashboard.

What it looks like

The five indicator styles, and an open tooltip: a question-mark glyph next to a field with its popover and a CTA.

Form fields

Settings forms are the classic tooltip habitat — a question-mark glyph next to the label that explains what the field does.

  • #sk-tt-workspace-name — “what is a workspace?” hover tooltip
  • #sk-tt-api-key — “keep this secret” with a docs-link CTA
  • #sk-tt-weekly-digest — NEW badge on a fresh setting

Dense UI

Tables and destructive actions — places where a hover explanation beats a paragraph of UI copy.
