Tooltips, popovers and modal windows are great for clarifying certain words or showing additional information in context without taking up too much screen space at once.
You can use tooltips, popovers and modal window elements on any page. They can not be used in emails.
Use tooltips to show a short text to respondents when they hover over a word or icon.

Use popovers to show a longer text, or when you want to have a link to an external web page. It is shown when the respondent clicks on a word or icon. The window remains visible until they click again outside of the popover.
Use modal windows to display a long text, images and links. This creates an overlay that covers a large part of the screen. The background becomes darker so that the focus lies on the window. Respondents click on the X in the top-right corner or outside of the modal window to close it.
