<p><strong>Other features include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Along with embedded media, rich text can also be included in help tab content to explain how features work</li>
<li>Custom notices can be placed on any admin screen, communicating important information about the page and how it works</li>
<li>The custom admin footer text provide a subtle and unobtrusive information about about the company or person who setup/created the site</li>
<li>Some users are not aware of the WordPress help tab. A bounce animation (similar to MacOS icon bounce) displays once per user until clicked to help them discover it for the first time</li>
<li>Determining what ‘screen id’ a help tab should display on can be tricky. The Admin Screen ID Identifier Tool allows you to copy the screen id with the click of a button</li>
<li>A default WordPress install comes with many built in help tabs that may not be relevant for your website and cause confusion. These default help tabs can be hidden if desired.</li>
</ul>
<p>Components that are not relevant for your unique needs can be easily deactivated, removing them from the admin menus.</p>
