There are three tooltip shared files, tooltip-options-1.md, tooltip-options-2.md, and tooltip-options-3.md, to cover the most common combinations of options.
Using shared files ensures that content remains consistent across visualizations that share the same options and users don't have to figure out which options apply to a specific visualization when reading that content.
| [Tooltip mode](#tooltip-mode) | When you hover your cursor over the visualization, Grafana can display tooltips. Choose how tooltips behave. |
| [Values sort order](#values-sort-order) | This option controls the order in which values are listed in a tooltip. |
| Hide zeros | When you set the **Tooltip mode** to **All**, the **Hide zeros** option is displayed. This option controls whether or not series with `0` values are shown in the list in the tooltip. |
| [Hover proximity](#hover-proximity) | Set the hover proximity (in pixels) to control how close the cursor must be to a data point to trigger the tooltip to display. |
| Max width | Set the maximum width of the tooltip box. |
| Max height | Set the maximum height of the tooltip box. The default is 600 pixels. |
- **All -** The hover tooltip shows all series in the visualization. Grafana highlights the series that you are hovering over in bold in the series list in the tooltip.
When you set the **Tooltip mode** to **All**, the **Values sort order** option is displayed. This option controls the order in which values are listed in a tooltip. Choose from the following:
- **None** - Grafana automatically sorts the values displayed in a tooltip.
- **Ascending** - Values in the tooltip are listed from smallest to largest.
- **Descending** - Values in the tooltip are listed from largest to smallest.
### Hover proximity
Set the hover proximity (in pixels) to control how close the cursor must be to a data point to trigger the tooltip to display.
