Hi everyone!
Could someone tell whether it is possible to add some description to the button on hover? Something like a tooltip that will tell where this button refers to?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous: December 2018 release now contains button tooltips.
Hi @Anonymous,
Based on my test, it is not possible to meet your requirememt currently, Maybe you can add the comment manually like this to work around.

@Anonymous: December 2018 release now contains button tooltips.
For us in december release it's not visible... We see action -> type -> Q&A / Bookmark / Back. But I expected a fourth option; tooltip...
Am I looking at the wrong place?
Edit; I found out that I can make a hard included text, but not what I hoped for.... I was hoping for making a special 'tooltip page' and linking a button to it, but that's not what is build in december update I see now.
Yes, wrong place. Right now you are looking at the options under Type which is the wrong place to look. Under Action you have: Type, Bookmark, and Tooltip which is usually blank (the default CTRL-Click...). Put your tooltip into the tooltip box and it will show when you hover over the button.
Hello tjd,
It works like a charm, thank you so much for the tip!
