What is help text?
Help text provides either an informative description or an error message that gives more context about what a user needs to input. It's commonly used in forms.
Which of the following is a best practice for form field titles?
Use succinct, short, descriptive labels (a word or two) so that users can quickly scan your form. Previous versions of Amazon's registration form contained a lot of words, which resulted in slow completion rates. The current version is much better and has short labels. Minimize the number of words in labels.
