Help toggle

The help toggle module prevents the display of help text at the top of pages when "compact" mode is enabled. Drupal displays context-sensitive help text at the top of some pages (most notably in the Administration section). While this text is useful, it takes up valuable screen space and may be less valuable for advanced users.

The administration page (/admin) has two display modes provided by a "core" installation, one with descriptions and one without. Selecting "Hide descriptions" on the administration page (/admin) removes descriptions from the page, and sets "compact" mode. In "compact" mode, selecting "Show descriptions" returns to the default expanded display. The help toggle module prevents the display of help text when the system is in "compact" mode.
