To enable this feature, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?subject=Request%20to%20enable%20the%20Unified%20Content%20Experience&body=Hi%20Whatfix%20Support%20Team%2C%0A%0APlease%20enable%20the%20Unified%20Content%20Experience%20for%20my%20account.%0A%0AThanks%2C%0A).

Select an element and add a User Action as a **Visibility Rule** to show a Smart Tip to your users. > [!WARNING] > Note: > > As a prerequisite, you need to [create a User Action](/studio/docs/user-action-condition-rule) before adding it to a Visibility Rule.
