## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Hotspot block isn't displaying correctly on my image?**
A: If the Hotspot block isn't showing up, ensure that Nexter Blocks is installed and activated. This block is specifically part of the Nexter Blocks ecosystem, and without it, the functionality won't be available. Additionally, check that the image is properly added in the Hotspot Image section, as a missing image can prevent the hotspot from appearing.

**Q: Can I use text as a hotspot pin for interactive tutorials on my website?**
A: Using text as a hotspot pin is ideal for interactive tutorials, as it enhances user understanding by providing clear labels or information. This feature allows you to guide users through content effectively, making it easier for them to navigate. The Hotspot block from Nexter Blocks is designed for such use cases, ensuring a smooth experience.

**Q: What are the best practices for adding tooltips to hotspot pins?**
A: When adding tooltips to hotspot pins, enable the Tooltip toggle and provide concise, relevant content in the Content tab. Tooltips should enhance the user experience by offering additional context without overwhelming the user. It's best to keep the text brief and informative, ensuring it complements the main content effectively.

**Q: What happens if I forget to add text in the Pin Title field?**
A: If you skip adding text in the Pin Title field, the hotspot will not display any label over the image, which can lead to confusion for users. The Pin Title is essential for identifying the hotspot's purpose, so always ensure this field is filled to enhance user interaction.

**Q: Does the Hotspot block support images of any size?**
A: The Hotspot block can work with various image sizes, but it's best to use images that are optimized for web use to ensure fast loading times. Large images can slow down your page, affecting user experience. Always consider the dimensions and file size of your images when adding them to the Hotspot block.

**Q: Are there any limitations when using the Hotspot block in Nexter Blocks?**
A: While the Hotspot block is versatile, it is important to note that it requires the Nexter Blocks plugin to function. Without this plugin, you won't have access to the Hotspot feature. Additionally, ensure that your WordPress site is using Gutenberg as the primary builder, as this block is built specifically for that environment.
