On my test published website when ever my cursor goes over an item e.g. container I get an annoying label which tells me what the container is - how do I turn this off in project? TIA @dan @ben ---

Try clicking on the options menu , as shown below. ![CleanShot 2026-06-06 at 07.32.52@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/9/79e8e952d2f8da91a6edc6f1689409f0340409cb.png) Or are you referring to the little tool tips that follow the cursor around? ---

Robin I don’t know what its called but if I stop the cursor over a container/image etc. a word appears to side of the cursor at bottom. ---

OK, that is a tooltip and is typically controlled by the operating system. Take a look in the system preferences under accessibility there might be an option to disable them. ---

It does not happen on my published sites, but it does happen on any site I’m working on in Elements. Probably because the developers took the time to create the tooltips in the first place. ---

You probably have an alt tag set, or similar. Hard to tell without the seeing the project. Can you share the project file via Elements Cloud? ---
