Breathing new life into WordPress admin help. An experimental feature plugin intended for WordPress 4.0.
This plugin is no longer in development. It is here for historic/archival purposes. If you would like to fork the code for your own use in a new plugin, you can find the source at the GitHub Repository.
FAQ
It’s not doing anything.
Most of what this plugin does (currently) is behind the scenes. We’re working on adding new areas for tooltips to appear on hover and new help overviews that will appear at the top of every page.
How do I use it?
Enable help tooltips from your Edit Profile page. The only page that currently has any tooltips activated is Plugins; you should have a tooltip when you hover over the Add New button.
