How to deal with hints/tutorial mode?
Currently I’m working on an basic application that has a ‘tutorial mode’. Initially hints (bubbles with text) will be displayed above various ui elements, explaining how they work.

In most cases when the user click a hint, it disappears, but there are a few situations when the user must perform another action(like dragging-dropping an element, clicking another,etc.) to progress.
