Overview
If an ACF field requires a longer instruction text, the layout of the edit screen is messy and a lot of space is wasted.
The ACF Tooltip plugin hides the field instructions, adds a help symbol to the field labels and generates a tooltip based on the instruction text.
New in Version 1.2.0
The tooltip will not hide if moused over, allowing create a tooltip with a link inside without hiding the tooltip.

Great plugin! Does the job well. However, a bit heavy; for large use cases where you have many ACF fields, I have seen a significant performance drop in the WP dashboard and increased load times.
Very useful

For those who like verbose instructions, this plugin is a lifesaver. Works exactly as expected. Thank you so much!
