In the MakeCode tutorial editor, the @showhint option doesn’t do anything. It states in the docs that @fullscreen is deprecated and to use @showhint, but neither make the hint display in a panel. I’ve seen projects that accomplish it, so I’m wondering how it’s done.

Screenshot for clarity:

Thanks for any help!

Try using @showdialog…it should do what you want it to.

I don’t want a dialog prompt to appear though. All I want is for the step to be integrated normally but have the hint show by default.
