# help(_:)

Adds help text to a tab using a text view that you provide.

```
nonisolated func help(_ text: Text) -> some TabContent<Self.TabValue>
```

## Parameters

`text`

The [`Text`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Text) view to use as help.

## Discussion

Adding help to a tab configures the tab’s accessibility hint and
its help tag (also called a *tooltip*) in macOS or visionOS.
For more information on using help tags, see
<doc://com.apple.documentation/design/Human-Interface-Guidelines/offering-help>
in the Human Interface Guidelines.

```
TabView {
    Tab("List", systemImage: "list.dash") {
        ListView()
    }
    .help(Text("Display symbols in list format"))
}
```
