## What tours and hints are for

Every workspace page has a short guided tour that points at the parts of the page in order: the header, the main actions, filters, the list or record, and any side panels. Inline `?` hints sit next to controls whose meaning isn't obvious from the label alone.

## Start a tour

1. Open the page you want to learn, for example Requests or an invoice.
2. Select the help button in the page header.
3. Step through the tour. Each step highlights one area and explains what it's for.
4. Close the tour at any time. You can start it again from the same button.

## Where you'll see ? hints

Hints are reserved for controls with product-specific meaning, so ordinary text fields and Save buttons stay uncluttered.

- Saved views and dense filters
- AI review, triage, and approval actions
- Billing and collection controls, such as reminders and payment state
- Access, plan, and security gates that explain why a control is unavailable
- Execution credits and request response pressure

## Note: Why a tour step or control might be missing

Tours skip steps for controls you can't use right now. That happens when your role doesn't allow the action, your plan doesn't include it, the action needs a recent sign-in, or the page is still empty. Controls that are gated explain why instead of failing silently.

## FAQ

### Do tours change anything in my workspace?

No. Tours only highlight and explain parts of the page. They never create, edit, or send anything.

### Can I turn the hints off?

Hints only appear next to a small set of controls and open when you select them, so they stay out of the way until you need them.
