## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the tooltip isn't showing up on my icon list item?**
A: If the tooltip isn't appearing, ensure that you've enabled the Tooltip toggle in the Stylish List block. This is a crucial step, as the tooltip won't display unless this option is activated. Additionally, check that you've added content in the Content field under the Content Type section. Without content, the tooltip won't have anything to show.

**Q: What is the best way to style the tooltip text in my icon list?**
A: To style the tooltip text effectively, use the Typography section to manage text typography and the Color section to adjust text color. This customization ensures that the tooltip aligns with your site's design and is easily readable. Consistent styling enhances user engagement and maintains a cohesive look.

**Q: Is there a limit to the length of the tooltip content I can add?**
A: The page does not specify a limit on the length of the tooltip content. However, it's best practice to keep tooltip text concise and informative. Long tooltips may overwhelm users or not display properly, so aim for clarity and brevity to enhance user experience.
