Use tooltips to show small unobtrusive hints on top of your app's UI. These can appear as a result of user interaction, or be triggered thoughtfully to assist the user in learning the details of a new feature they have shown interest in.
Variations: The tooltip can have an optional title and the tip of the tooltip can point up, down, left, or right.
