Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary:

Improve UX by adding contextual help/tooltips/instructional help within AEM.
Use-case:

Technical writers currently find it difficult to know the purpose of many icons, buttons, and menu items when navigating the AEM UI as they don't have any/sufficient tooltips or instructional help.
Current/Experienced Behavior:  
Improved/Expected Behavior:

Clarity regarding the purpose and meaning of:

 

  • Menu items.
  • The distinction between "Experience Fragments", "Assets", and "Content Fragments".
  • Global vs iLX Profile. 

It would be helpful to have an easily accessible link to Adobe's documentation within AEM.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):  
Customer-name/Organization name: Workday
Screenshot (if applicable):

 
Code package (if applicable):

@avrildu how it is different from adding value in dialog

<dialog xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog"> <items> <textfield name="./tooltipText" fieldLabel="Tooltip Text" description="This is the tooltip text that will be displayed when the author hovers over the field." /> </items> </dialog>
