Explanation
Changing the default tip width of all tips in the Application Settings affects all existing tips, regardless of their status (draft or published). This is because the tip width is a global setting that applies to all tips in the console.
However, you can override the default tip width for individual tips by using the Tip Width setting in the Advanced tab of the tip editor.

Explanation
Activation Settings are the rules that determine when and how a guide is displayed to the user. There are three types of Activation Settings: Simple, Time, and Step. Simple conditions are based on the URL or AppID of the application where the guide is deployed. Time conditions are based on the date and time range of the guide availability. Step conditions are based on the completion status of another guide or step. However, Step conditions are only available to set at the step level, not at the guide level. This means that you can only use Step conditions to control the display of individual steps within a guide, not the entire guide itself12. References:
