Embeds are embedded content elements that appear directly within your existing application elements. They seamlessly integrate help content, tips, and documentation right where users need them.
Why it Matters
Embeds provide contextual assistance without disrupting the user experience. By placing help content directly within your application’s interface, you can:
- Reduce Support Tickets: Answer common questions before users need to reach out
- Improve Feature Adoption: Guide users through complex features in context
- Enhance User Experience: Provide help without forcing users to leave their workflow
- Increase Self-Service: Enable users to find answers independently
