Adding to hoverinfo

During the video lesson, you learned how to fully customize the hover info displayed by plotly. This is a great approach, but what if you only want to quickly add an identifying column rather than polish your chart for publication on the web? This is possible by adding the text argument to the plot_ly() command without specifying hoverinfo = "text".
