 We did, I wanted to get the click targets up into the toolbar as icon +
 text, but we weren't able to get positioning we all agreed on before it
 was time to freeze/go beta. Definitely worth revisiting.

 I like idea of auto-opening a same-page help tab on click contextually,
 but am not as sure about switching pages and opening a help tab, seems
 like it might be disorienting. Might be a situation where popping a modal
 with the relevant text might be a better experience than dumping them
 somewhere else to get instructions for something.
