What is a Tooltip?
A Tooltip is an explanatory text that appears in a small window when you hover over or click on certain UI elements, like buttons, icons, or links. It helps users better understand the interface by providing additional context or help. For instance, when you hover over an unfamiliar icon, a short phrase explaining its function appears, which is a typical example of a tooltip.
