There’s been some discussion about this feature already [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-add-tool-tips-or-help-info-for-my-app-users/13554) but I thought I’d turn it into a feature request. I’d like to be able to display an icon (maybe the i or a ?) in the app which when tapped, shows text or even images, to the user. I’d use this to add guidance on using the app. This 👇 looks like I helpful alternative but it’d be nice to have something a little bit more subtle and easier to configure. > [@Creating Clearable Hint Text](https://community.glideapps.com/t/creating-clearable-hint-text/21124): > > The Scenario: Perhaps you’d like to present some instructions or announcements to your users AND give them the ability to “understand” and clear the notification.

I like to get creative with multiple relations that link a row back to itself. This lets me create different single row inline lists that can perform a variety of different functions. The red ‘X’ is part of an inline list in the Cards Style. I use it with a Set column action to set a value in that row, which closes (hides) the components above it. You could do something similar that shows or hides a hint component for example. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/6/86e9c264c1630462bc9fcbc9059f9b5dd8cc30bb.png) Here’s the app. Just try some of the blue memory buttons to see what I mean. > **[Glide Calculator](https://glidecalculator.glideapp.io/)** ---

Very cool! I don’t time to check this out now but I’ll take a proper look at this works later.
