The launch tutorial

In the editor rail, Tour Features holds per-tour switches. The first is the launch tutorial: on (the default) greets every visitor with the welcome card and offers the tutorial; off skips it everywhere that tour appears, including embeds on other websites. More switches will land here as features grow.

Default destination

Pick a default destination and every visitor who opens Navigate finds the To box already set to it, one press from a route to your most-asked-for spot. It is a convenience, nothing more: visitors change it freely, and leaving the setting empty keeps the box blank.

Type a tag in the Featured tags box and press Add to promote it, up to six. In the tour they appear as one-tap buttons at the top of the menu: a tap lists every destination carrying that tag, and when only one place matches, the visitor is routed straight there. Remove one with its small x to free the slot.

Map zoom limits

The Map Zoom drawer sets the fence: zoom the map to the closest view you want visitors to reach and flip the zoom-in lock, then do the same at the widest and flip the zoom-out lock, or type the exact levels in the number boxes. Hold still at full zoom-out keeps the map from sliding when the whole property is already on screen; zoomed in, the map follows points as always.

The map Home view

The Home view is the framing the tour map returns to. Center on the property map rests it framed on your uploaded property map on every screen size, or pan and zoom to any framing you like and flip Use the current view to freeze exactly that.

Return Home when idle

With Return Home when idle on, the tour map waits three seconds after the visitor stops touching it, then drifts back to the Home view, so the map always ends up composed the way you designed it. It stays put while a route is running.

Property map or Google

Once a property map is uploaded, the header gains a toggle that flips the stage between Google satellite and the property map, and visitors get the same choice in the tour. Each map keeps its own zoom limits and Home view.

The Logo drawer is the one home for tour branding. Add or replace the image, choose where it sits, size it, and optionally give it a link so a click sends visitors to your website. The logo rides on every point of the tour, including embeds on other sites, and removing it takes one press in the same drawer.

Logo

The Logo row in the Tour section of the left rail opens the Logo drawer, the one home for everything about your tour's on-screen logo: add or replace the image, set its size, give it a click-through link, and remove it. Clicking the row again closes the drawer.

There is one logo per tour, and it shows to visitors on the 360 view, the Map view and the Split view. Important: the logo on the photo is draggable and resizable only while this drawer is open. The moment the drawer closes, the logo locks in place and ignores the mouse entirely, so it can never get in the way of looking around the tour.

Open it whenever you are branding a tour for a client. Typical flow: click Logo, add the image, drag it into a corner, set the size, paste the client's website into the link field, then close the drawer to lock it down.

Back

Back closes the Logo drawer. Everything you changed, the image, position, size and link, is already saved, so closing loses nothing.

Closing also locks the logo: it stops responding to dragging and scrolling the instant the drawer shuts, which is by design so visitors and later editing sessions can never nudge it by accident. To move or resize it again, reopen the drawer from the Logo rail row.

Add logo image

This button reads Add logo image when the tour has no logo and Replace logo image once it does. Either way it opens a file picker that accepts any image type, reads the file, and puts it on screen. A brand-new logo lands near the top-left corner at 14 percent of the screen width. A replacement keeps the existing position, size and click-through link and swaps only the artwork, so re-branding a placed logo never means re-positioning it.

Click the button, choose the file, and the logo appears immediately. A toast confirms which of the two happened. The change is saved to the tour right away and recorded in history, so Undo can take it back.

Use a PNG with a transparent background so the logo floats cleanly over the photo instead of sitting in a colored box. After adding, drag the logo on the photo to place it (the drawer must stay open while you drag) and set the exact size with the Size slider below.

Click-through link is the web address that opens when a visitor clicks or taps the logo in the published tour. In the editor the logo is for placement only; the link fires for your visitors, not for you while editing.

Paste the full URL, including the https:// part, and click anywhere outside the field. The link saves at that moment and a toast confirms "Logo link saved". To remove the link without removing the logo, delete the text from the field and click away; the toast confirms "Logo link removed" and the logo becomes a plain image.

Point it at the client's homepage or booking page: it quietly turns the logo into the tour's most-clicked call to action. The field only works once a logo exists; add the image first. Replacing the image keeps the link, but Remove logo deletes it along with everything else.

Size

The Size slider sets the logo's width from 3 to 60 percent of the viewer's screen width, in half-percent steps. The readout beside the label shows the rounded value. Because it is a percentage of the screen rather than a pixel count, the logo scales itself sensibly on every device: 14 percent looks proportionally the same on a phone and a big monitor. Height follows automatically to keep the image's own proportions.

Drag the slider and the logo resizes live on the photo. The value saves itself a moment after you stop moving, so there is no save button to press. You can also resize by scrolling the mouse wheel directly over the logo while the drawer is open, if that feels more natural.

10 to 18 percent is the sweet spot for a corner logo: visible branding without covering the tour. The 14 percent default suits most marks. Go bigger only for a deliberate watermark effect, and remember visitors came to see the property, not the logo.

Remove logo

Remove logo deletes the tour's logo entirely: the image, its position, its size and its click-through link all go at once. A confirmation dialog asks "Remove the logo?" first, so a stray click cannot wipe it.

Click the button, confirm, and the logo disappears immediately; the removal saves to the tour right away and is recorded in history, so Undo can bring it back within the session. The next logo you add starts fresh at the default corner position and 14 percent width, with an empty link.

Only use this when the tour should carry no logo at all. If you just need different artwork, Replace logo image is the better tool: it swaps the picture and keeps the placement and link you already dialed in.

Logo on the photo

The logo itself is a live control while the Logo drawer is open. Drag it with the left mouse button to put it anywhere on screen; the position is clamped so it can never be pushed fully off the edge, and it saves the moment you release. Scroll the mouse wheel over it to resize in 2 percent steps, or hold Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) while scrolling for fine half-percent steps, within the same 3 to 60 percent range as the Size slider. Right-click it any time to open the Logo drawer.

When the drawer is closed the logo is completely inert: it ignores clicks, drags and scrolls so it can never interfere with panning the photo. If dragging seems dead, check that the drawer is open; that is the lock working as intended.

Position and size are stored as percentages of the screen, so where you place it in the editor is where visitors see it in the published tour, on 360, Map and Split views alike. Corners are the professional choice; keep it clear of the bottom center where navigation controls live. Whatever you set here rides along untouched when you later replace the image.

Launch tutorial

Launch tutorial controls whether visitors are greeted with the welcome card and tutorial when this tour opens. It is on by default, and it applies everywhere this tour appears, including embeds on other websites.

Check or uncheck; the setting saves immediately with no confirm step. With it off, tours skip the welcome through its normal dismiss path rather than just hiding it, so everything the welcome normally arms, like the walk control, still works: visitors simply land straight in the tour.

Keep it on for first-time audiences: customers, public links, anyone who has never driven a 360 tour. Turn it off for embeds where the surrounding page already explains things, or for repeat-viewing situations like a kiosk, where the greeting on every open becomes noise.
