Allow Plugin Access to Tutorial GUI

Problem

Roblox lacks tooling that allows plugin creators to effectively onboard their new users, often relying on devforum posts for explanation on how to use their plugins.

This functionality does exist though; the Roblox Tutorial GUI that pops up when you first open a Starter Template place file.

However, this isn’t accessible or usable by Roblox plugin creators.

Proposal

Create a formal “TutorialService” API for Plugin creators to create tips, hints and non-widget popups in Studio quickly.

Having an easily configured and accessed tutorial GUI would greatly benefit the plugin creator marketplace, reducing the overhead required to make competent learning resources for their plugins.

You should be more specific, so staff have a better idea of how they can design an API. To me, it looks like this popup can be almost completely replicated by parenting a ScreenGui directly to the CoreGui to have it appear in the Viewport. What would your ideal “Tutorial GUI” have over that?
