Tooltips and Toasts

Use tooltips to present small amounts of additional information to the user. Tooltips are similar to toasts, or microconclusions, which give the user a short confirmation. Follow these guidelines for both tooltips and toasts:

  • Keep tooltips and toasts brief.
  • Use sentence case.
  • Use the past tense rather than present perfect (was submitted vs. has been submitted). We avoid the past perfect tense because it is less clear for users and for our translation team.
  • Don't include periods at the end of a tooltip or toast unless it is a complete sentence or a fragment followed by a complete sentence.
