One link, or your tour inside any website.
Every tour has one link. Send it to anyone, on a phone it opens the mobile tour, on a computer the desktop tour. The in-tour Share button lets visitors copy a link to the exact point they are standing at.
The embed code puts your tour inside any website in an iframe. The tour scales itself to the frame, the disc, the welcome card, and the controls all size to fit, so a tour embedded in a page column works exactly like the full-screen tour, just smaller.
Export Tour (editor bundle) downloads the raw build of the tour as a ZIP: a tour.json describing every point (names, numbers, connections, hotspots, view limits, map positions), every panorama saved as numbered JPEGs in a stops folder, the floor plan image, and a simple portable viewer page.
Click it and wait; there is no progress line for this one. When the bundle finishes, a toast reports how many points it packed and the size in megabytes, and the ZIP lands in your downloads named walkthrough-tour.zip. If the tour has no points yet, you get a message that there is nothing to export.
How it differs from the Standalone package: standalone is the polished offline viewer for handing to people; the editor bundle is the raw data plus original images, with clean numbered filenames that are easy to reuse elsewhere. Grab one before any big restructure of a tour, or whenever you want the photos out of the tour and into your hands as plain files.
The Downloads section of the Share drawer lets you take a tour beyond the web link. Standalone package (ZIP) builds a folder you can keep anywhere, double-click index.html inside it and the whole tour runs in any modern browser, no login and no internet required. 360 photo of selected point saves the point you are standing on as a single 360 photo, ready to post on Facebook where it displays as an interactive sphere. Export Tour (editor bundle) downloads the raw tour data and photos as a ZIP for backup or for handing the tour to another editor.
The link field shows the direct URL for the open point. Anyone who opens it lands in the tour's clean public view, standing at exactly this point, with the tour's name carried along. The link is built from ids the tour already has, so generating it saves nothing new and changes nothing in your tour.
The field is read-only: use Copy beside it, or select the text yourself. If no point is open, the panel asks you to open one first. If the tour has never been saved to the cloud, the panel says there is no share id yet: save the tour, then reopen this panel.
Use point links to deep-link specific places: the exact unit in a listing email, the ballroom in an event proposal, the trailhead in a park guide. The QR code below is this same link in scannable form.
Copy puts the point link on your clipboard and the button reads "Copied" for about a second as confirmation. If the browser blocks direct clipboard access, it falls back to selecting the field's text and copying the old-fashioned way, so the copy still lands.
Paste it anywhere: texts, emails, listings, documents. The link opens the tour in public view with no editor chrome, so it is always safe to hand to customers exactly as copied.
The square code above this button is the same point link rendered as a scannable QR. Download QR (PNG) saves it as a PNG image named after the point, in the form strollpoint-point-name-qr.png, straight to your downloads.
Press it, then drop the PNG into flyers, brochures, table cards, or yard signs. Scanning the code opens the tour standing at this exact point.
The QR shines on physical signage placed at the real location: a sign at the pool whose code opens the tour standing at the pool. Print a test copy and scan it from a few feet away before committing to a large print run.
Matterport / 360 embed and Link another StrollPoint tour are roadmap placeholders. Pressing either shows a note that authoring for it arrives with the 3.0 tours; nothing in your tour changes today.
They are kept visible on purpose so the plan stays in sight: opening an embedded Matterport scan from a point, and hopping from one StrollPoint tour into another. Until they land, there is nothing to set up and nothing to press here.
Preview opens the live customer tour in a new browser tab: the real published viewer, in public mode, with none of the editor chrome. What you see there is exactly what you ship.
Click it with a tour open. If the tour is not published yet, Preview refuses, tells you the tour is not published, and opens the Share drawer for you: switch Publish on, then click Preview again. If no tour is open at all, it asks you to open one first.
Use it after every meaningful change, especially opening views, floor tags and routing, and always before sending the link to anyone. Because Preview loads the real published tour from the cloud, a correct preview also confirms your latest edits actually synced.
Back at the top of the Share drawer closes the drawer and returns you to the tools rail. The Share row in the rail does the same thing as a toggle: click it once to open the drawer, again to close it.
Closing is always safe. Nothing in the Share drawer holds unsaved input: the Publish switch writes to the cloud the instant you flip it, the links are generated readouts, and the download buttons act immediately when clicked. The drawer also closes on its own if you open any other drawer, since only one drawer is open at a time.
Everything regenerates fresh on the next open: the drawer re-reads the publish state from the cloud and rebuilds the customer link and embed code for the active tour every time it opens.
The Publish switch controls whether this tour can be viewed without a login. The label next to it is a live readout of the real cloud state: ON, anyone with link (in green) or OFF, private. While the drawer is checking the cloud it briefly reads checking… and the switch is locked until the answer arrives; with no tour open it stays locked.
Flip it on and the status line underneath shows Publishing… then a confirmation that clears after a couple of seconds; flip it off and you get Unpublishing… then its confirmation. If the change fails, the switch snaps back to the true state and the line shows Failed with the reason, so the switch never lies about what the cloud actually has.
Turn Publish on before you send the customer link or embed the tour anywhere: while it is off, visitors get nothing at either address. Turning it off is your instant kill switch, and the link itself never changes, so switching back on restores the exact same URL you already handed out. Publish is per tour; your other tours are unaffected.
The Customer link field shows this tour's public address: your site's /w/ path followed by the tour's id. This is the one link you hand out; the same URL serves phones and desktops with the right viewer for each.
The field is read-only and refills every time the Share drawer opens, so it always reflects the active tour. If it reads open a tour first, no tour is loaded. Copy it with the Copy link button below, or select the text and copy it manually.
Always send this link, never the address from the editor's own address bar: the editor URL is your private workspace, the /w/ link is the customer surface. And remember the link only shows the tour to visitors while Publish is on.
Copy link puts the customer link on your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into a text, email or post.
Click it and the button itself confirms: it flashes ✓ Copied for a moment, then returns to normal. If your browser blocks clipboard access it flashes Copy failed instead; in that case click into the link field, select the text and copy manually with Ctrl+C.
This is the fastest path from editor to customer. Check that Publish is on before you send it, and use Preview first if you have just made changes, so you know exactly what the recipient will see.
The Embed box holds a ready-made iframe snippet that drops the tour into any web page. It loads the tour's /embed/ address, fills the full width of whatever container you paste it into, stands 600 pixels tall with rounded corners, and grants gyroscope, accelerometer and fullscreen permissions so phone visitors can look around by moving their phone and anyone can go fullscreen. The frame's title is your tour name.
The box is read-only here and regenerates every time the drawer opens. Copy it with the Copy embed code button, paste it into your page, and edit the width or height values in your own HTML afterward if the default footprint does not fit your layout.
Use it for property websites, listing pages and company sites where you want the tour living inside the page rather than behind a link. Publish must be on: an unpublished tour renders nothing for visitors inside the frame.
Copy embed code copies the full iframe snippet from the box above to your clipboard. The button flashes ✓ Copied to confirm, or Copy failed if the browser blocked clipboard access, in which case select the text in the box and copy it manually.
Paste the snippet into any place that accepts raw HTML: a WordPress Custom HTML block, a Squarespace code block, or your site's page template. It is one self-contained tag, nothing else to install.
If the tour does not appear on your page after pasting, check two things in order: the tour's Publish switch is on, and your page builder actually saved the block as HTML rather than plain text.
Standalone package (ZIP) builds a complete, self-contained copy of the tour: an index.html with the entire StrollPoint viewer and its libraries baked in, every point's photo, the floor plan, and a short README. Unzip it anywhere and double-click index.html; the tour runs in any modern browser with no internet, no account and no StrollPoint at all.
Click the button and watch the status line under it: it prepares the package, counts through your points one by one as it packages each photo, packages the viewer, then builds and compresses the ZIP with a live percentage. When it finishes you get a ✓ Downloaded confirmation with the file name, your tour name plus -tour.zip. Photos come from memory and the local cache first and are fetched from the cloud only when needed, so a large tour on a slow connection takes a while; leave the drawer open until the checkmark.
If something goes wrong the same line shows Failed with the reason, and with no tour open it asks you to open one first. Expect real size: every photo ships at full quality, so photo-heavy tours can produce ZIPs of hundreds of megabytes.
Use it for client deliverables, kiosks and offline demos, and archives. It is a snapshot: edits you make later do not change copies already downloaded, so re-export after significant changes.
360 photo of selected point downloads the currently selected point's panorama as a JPEG stamped with the 360 metadata that Facebook and similar platforms read. Posted as a normal photo, it renders as an interactive look-around 360 instead of a flat stretched strip. The file is named strollpoint, then the point's name, then -360.jpg.
Select the point you want in the points list or on the map, then click the button. The status line shows Preparing…, then ✓ Saved with a reminder to post it. Upload the file to Facebook like any photo; the platform detects the embedded metadata by itself. If you cleaned the image with Magic Erase or a nadir patch, the edited version is what exports.
Two failure messages to know: Select a point first means nothing is selected, and this point has no photo loaded yet means the panorama is not on this machine; open the point once so its photo loads, then try again. The status line clears itself after a few seconds.
Use it as marketing: post your single best point with the customer link in the caption, rather than asking people to click through to the whole tour cold.
