Contextual tips

Contextual tips in user onboarding are targeted, minimal guidance cues provided to users as they interact with an app. The key is not to overwhelm users with excessive instructions.

Here are a few tips for effectively using contextual tips:

• Less is more: Avoid cluttering the screen with tips for every action. Too many tips can be counterproductive, distracting, and overwhelming.
• One at a time: Show only one tip at a time to keep the user focused and avoid information overload.
• Intuitive design first: If your product requires numerous tips, it might be time to reconsider the UI design. Aim for an intuitive interface that minimizes the need for explanatory tips.
• Make it relevant: Ensure that each tip is contextually relevant to the user's current action or screen. Irrelevant tips can confuse rather than help.
