Tooltips

Tooltips display brief, informative text when users hover over, focus on, or tap an element. They should provide helpful context without blocking interaction.

Basic Tooltip

Wrap any element with tooltip components to display contextual help on hover.

Placement

Tooltips support four primary placements. The tooltip will automatically adjust if there is not enough space.

Target

Toolbar Pattern

Tooltips are essential for icon-only toolbars. They provide the label that the missing text would otherwise communicate.

On Various Elements

Tooltips can wrap any focusable or hoverable element, not just buttons.
