Bring back Scratch Tips Window [help button]

LovelyOtter

Remember when there used to be a “help” button if you right-clicked a block?

Can we bring that back? It was super helpful!!

Also, we should be able to right-click broadcasts and find “the senders” and the “receivers” and all of that.

Support! It would be great for New Scratchers.

Support!
This would be so helpful (no put intended) for new scratchers who don't know what certain blocks are/mean.

Thanks!

This button was pretty much necessary, so I don't think it was removed intentionally. But if it was for some reason, support! (I don't see who would not support..?)

I am teaching programming by using Scratch.

I find it troublesome for our students to check out the function of a particular block, so it would be really helpful if Scratch team can bring back the Scratch Tips Window (for every block, individually), like in Scratch 2.

Thank you and looking forward for the change.

you do realise people can bump topics by supporting them, right? Support! This saved me a lot of time in my earlier days.

I think the help button would be very useful for new users on this website.

It's useful, practical and helpful. I don't think much more needs to be said.

SCRATCH 3.0 IS RUINIG THIS THING.
they took out EVERYTHING from 2.0, the color selector (not the HSV sliders), smoothness, and yet, they even took out the most useful feature, the block help tool, please bring it back, it is helpful to new scratchers, PLEASE add it back

“Not Added” souonds like removed to me.

Anyways, although it may be removed. The Scratch Wiki may be of use. It's a lot more detailed in my opinion. Hope that helps!

add back the scratch blocks editor help tool, please, there was a tool in 2.0 that gave a guide on how blocks work, now it is gone, it is very hard to know what they do

Uh, isn't that what the documentation is for?

No support. Learning to read documentation is an important skill, this is pretty much the equivalent of an instant Cheat Sheet, IMHO.

Anti-support. Here is the page about blocks in the Scratch Wiki, hope that could solve the problem.

Totally agree, would be great for both new scratchers and everyone. I wonder why they got rid of it…
