Tooltips are an essential element of interface design because they provide users with additional information about an element or function. Tooltips can help users learn the purpose of an unfamiliar icon or button, provide guidance on how to use a feature, or notify users of possible errors or warnings. By providing context and clarity, tooltips enhance the user experience, minimize confusion, and increase efficiency. Additionally, tooltips can reduce the need for extensive documentation, making the interface more intuitive and user-friendly.
