There is currently no tool tip for a button. Now that buttons can perform actions, it would be very useful to have the option to add a tool tip (or hover event message) rather than the default "click to follow link".

RE: Tool Tips for Buttons

Great update with the tooltip. Could you please go all the way and add tooltop report pages as well? It would be even more awesome if you could create things like a button/image etc with a customizable tooltip which hovers on mouseover for help/q&a/descriptions etc.

RE: Tool Tips for Buttons

I seen your GIF on this Matt, seems like a simple small change that adds that extra bit of customization to PBI. This gets my vote.

No brainer and must be so easy to add into the product!

RE: Tool Tips for Buttons

Totally agree. When buttons can be used to let users navigate and there’s not an easy way to show them where a button takes them: that’s awkward.
