I create a questionaire in Kobo tool box, I use the guidance hint and it doesn´t apear in the kobo collect app below the questions. I understand that I use the incorrect tool (I should have used question hint), but I want to know if there´s a way of making the guidance hint visible in the kobo collect questionaire

Hello,
YES. You find it in the project settings of the device: >> Form management >> Show guidance for questions

Depending of your settings a user may change this on her/his device.

I would recommend to use guidance_hint only as additional “hints”. Also the textual format is different and they are always included in the pdf print-out (Enketo)…
