Where can I find tooltips or extra explanations for fields like "Files documented" or "Who can run documentation"?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: Hover or click the small information (ⓘ) icons next to headings (for example next to "Files documented" or "Who can run documentation") to open tooltips with extra explanation.

Prerequisites

  1. Open the relevant CodeDoc tab where the information (ⓘ) icon appears

Steps

  1. Locate the small information (ⓘ) icon next to the heading/column (e.g., next to "Files documented").
    The information icon is visible near the heading.

  2. Hover over or click the information icon to display the tooltip.
    A tooltip opens with explanatory text about that field.

  3. Read the tooltip content for guidance and dismiss it by moving the pointer away or closing it.
    Tooltip disappears when no longer needed.

Troubleshooting

  1. Tooltip does not appear when you hover or click the icon.
    LikelyCause: UI overlay or modal is blocking interaction, or browser hover behavior differs.
    Action: Close overlapping dialogs, try clicking the icon instead of hovering, or refresh the page.

Note: Tooltips provide short contextual help. If more detail is needed, use Important links or product docs (see the Important links screen).
