A callout or highlight box layers an outline, circle, or arrow over a target. Because the screen keeps its original size, spatial relationships remain visible.
Place a transparent border at the target's coordinates and connect it to a short label with a leader line. The demo repeatedly frames one item and draws a line to its callout.
A spotlight dims the whole surround; a callout marks the target with a shape. Leave room for the outline and label so they do not cover important text in the original screen.
When to use
Use it when you want to identify a small target while keeping its location and surrounding context visible.
