When to use Tooltip
Use when
- Use Tooltip when frosted contextual hints with spring scale-in.
- Temporary focus tasks: dialogs, sheets, popovers, tooltips, hover cards.
- Confirmations and dense secondary UI that should not navigate away.
Avoid when
- Primary page content — overlays hide context and hurt deep linking.
- Critical legal copy that must remain permanently visible.
Accessibility notes
- Focus moves into the overlay on open and returns on close.
- Escape dismisses where appropriate; dialogs should label the title.
- Tooltips must not be the only way to access essential information.
Interactive primitives build on accessible patterns (including Radix where applicable). Always verify focus order and contrast on your mesh or product background.
Composition tips
- Prefer sheet for mobile-heavy flows; dialog for focused confirmations.
- Keep overlay body short; link out to full pages for long content.
