I am trying to edit the default tooltips styling and text shown in each one. I am having trouble finding where to edit this & to check if the CSS changes I made are working since the initial tooltips have already been shown to me.

The text for the tooltip can be modified under Admin > Site Texts.

I’m unsure how to change the layout/design.
