# Tooltips

> Add tooltips to display contextual definitions and explanations when users hover over terms, abbreviations, or technical concepts in your documentation.

Use tooltips to provide additional context or definitions when a user hovers over a string of text. Tooltips can include optional call-to-action links.

**Example**: <Tooltip headline="API" tip="Application Programming Interface: a set of protocols for software applications to communicate." cta="Read our API guide" href="/api-reference">API</Tooltip> documentation helps developers understand how to integrate with your service.
