How to add a description to a text box/shape which appears only when you hover over/ click on the text box?

I am making a process flow with multiple steps, and would ideally want to add a description to each step. For now, I have added additional text boxes which permanently appear in the frame.

Is there any way to add a description to a text box which appears only when you either hover over it or click on it?

@Naman Biyani - There is no such natively functionality in Miro at this time.

Perhaps your best solution at this time could be to use a Comment.

There is an existing Wish List post asking for a Tooltip feature, which you may want to upvote:

However, if you feel that idea doesn’t truly reflect what you are looking to accomplish, 

I’d recommend adding this as an Idea in the Wish List category by following the guidelines here: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know.

If you do create a Wish List Idea post, I would also recommend that you post a link to it back here, so that future readers of this post can quickly get to and vote for your Idea.

Thanks, Robert - the wish list post has exactly what I was looking for.

I tried adding comments but was facing a couple issues with the same, one of them being accidentally resolved by another user, and two, not being visually convenient [ideally want to add a description for each step].

Regardless, have upvoted the wish list post - thanks :)
