Re: Metadata On Hover SC Text

Hi Katie,

Thanks. We can certainly can do that. Any thoughts on the following
combined text?

Content that is necessary for understanding and appears on hover:
* is discernible,
* does not obscure other content, and
* is available by any input method.

Maybe that is too much for one SC? If so, I can separate Into two SCs.

Kindest Regards,
Laura
