Provide users with contextual, persistent help—when and where they need it most

Use Pins, like persistent tooltips and buttons, to provide on-demand support, tips, and refreshers so your users can get the quick help they need, whether they’re on day 1 or day 100.

2 types of Pins

Icon with tooltip

Add persistent icons tied to helpful tooltips in an effort to reduce confusion, provide on-demand education, and activate your users by allowing them to launch walkthroughs on their own.

Buttons

Place persistent, native-looking buttons in your product to drive users to complete a desired action like launching a flow, providing feedback, or navigating to another page.
