# Textarea
|
|
|
|
The **Textarea** component allows users to enter text in an input field similar to the [Text Input](/docs/widgets/text-input) component. Textarea is generally preferred when we are expecting an input of multiple sentences. In this document, we'll go through all the configuration options for the **Textarea** component.

### Tooltip
|
|
|
|
A **Tooltip** is commonly used to provide additional information about an element. This information becomes visible when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the respective component.
|
|
|
|
In the input field under **Tooltip**, you can enter some text and the component will show the specified text as a tooltip when it is hovered over.
