Description
Informer is a pattern used to visually indicate hints within the interface. It is useful when there is limited space to add, for example, a hint link alongside a component.
Appearance
The informer consists of the following elements:
Info
icon withmargin-left: 4px
- Tooltip containing the hint message (appears upon hovering over the icon)
TIP
Avoid using the Info
icon with the h1
title. This title typically pertains to hero blocks and similar elements. Adding hints to the main page title might seem unusual.

When controls are accompanied by text labels, position the Info
icon adjacent to the labels.
