Learn about {concept} links

Open mikkelhegn opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Service Fabric is a complicated platform and there are tons of concepts to understand. To help users navigate these, I suggest we create a "Learn about {concept}", which can be attached to existing elements, where we find it appropriate. When clicking the "Learn about {concept}" icon, we can pop-out a small descriptive text with a link to documentation for further reading.

E.g. image

What will be difficult is to find the right balance where to put these, to not have them being plastered all over the UI. A good rule of thumb would be to only allow this inside the highlighted Essentials pane and top tab navigation.

Why not a question mark? It's already used to indicate unknown or invalid state: image
