    Hey prasadpatil020,

    This is really a trick.

    Add a transparent, borderless shape on top of each Card visual (use the Selection Pane to ensure it sits on top). Then for each shape:

    Format Shape pane > Shape > Action (turn it on) > Tooltip (add the static text).

    To ensure, clicking on shape triggers no action:

    Format Shape pane > Shape > Action > Action (not written by mistake 😉) > Select Type as Bookmark and Bookmark as None.

    Repeat for all 5 cards with different tooltip text.

    Hope this helps! Please do share, if you find more efficient way to achieve this.

    Best,
