TimeSolv’s tooltips take the complexity away
TimeSolv breaks a dense payments form into eight short tooltips that highlight one field at a time, with Previous and Next buttons on each.

TimeSolv, a time-tracking and billing tool, has a naturally complex interface, and individual features are no different. At the time of the recording, its Payments & Credits page used contextual tooltips to explain the form one field at a time: each step highlights a field on a dimmed screen and adds a one-line explanation, such as "This is the date the Payment is to be processed" or "Specify the Payment Credit Type". The tour has eight steps, each with Previous and Next buttons, and the help widget in the corner stays lit throughout.
Why it works
✅ Simple copy: because every field gets its own step, each tooltip needs only one plain sentence. That's the right approach when a page needs more than a handful of tooltips.
✅ Previous option: a Previous button isn't revolutionary, but on a tour this long it matters for users who want to check an earlier step again.
✅ Highlighting done right: the highlight makes clear which field each tooltip is about, and the help widget is never dimmed, so users can ask for help mid-tour.
