+
+### Shared tooltip
+
+{{< imgbox max-width="60%" img="/img/docs/v41/shared_tooltip.gif" caption="Shared tooltip" >}}
+
+Showing the tooltip on all panels at the same time has been a long standing request in Grafana and we are really happy to finally be able to release it. 
+You can enable/disable the shared tooltip from the dashboard settings menu or cycle between default, shared tooltip and shared crosshair by pressing `CTRL + O` or `CMD + O`.
+
+<div class="clearfix"></div>
+
+### Help text for panel
+
+{{< imgbox max-width="60%" img="/img/docs/v41/helptext_for_panel_settings.png" caption="Hovering help text" >}}
+
+You can set a help text in the general tab on any panel. The help text is using Markdown to enable better formating and linking to other sites that can provide more information.
+
+<div class="clearfix"></div>
+
+{{< imgbox max-width="60%" img="/img/docs/v41/helptext_hover.png" caption="Hovering help text" >}}
+
+Panels with a help text available have a little indicator in the top left corner. You can show the help text by hovering the icon.
+<div class="clearfix"></div>
+
+
+### Easier Cloudwatch configuration
+
+{{< imgbox max-width="60%" img="/img/docs/v41/cloudwatch_settings.png" caption="Cloudwatch configuration" >}}
+
+In Grafana 4.1.0 you can configure your Cloudwatch data source with `access key` and `secret key` directly in the data source configuration page.
+This enables people to use the Cloudwatch data source without having access to the filesystem where Grafana is running.
+
+Once the `access key` and `secret key` have been saved the user will no longer be able to view them. 
+<div class="clearfix"></div>
+
