Narration script

The walkthrough has not been recorded yet. This is the narration it will follow, step for step.

Renaming a tour or rewriting its description takes about a minute. Here is the whole flow. From Destinations, I open my tour and click Edit details. Top of the form: Name and Description. The name is required, and the description, up to two thousand characters, is what shows on the tour's public pages. Now a word of caution about the field right under the name: the Slug. That is the tour's public web address. If you change it, every link and every embed you have already shared stops working. So leave it alone unless you really mean it, and if you leave it blank, the app generates one from the name. Next, location. Country, city, and latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. Those coordinates are what place your tour's pin on the discovery globe, so they are worth filling in. You can also add a website link, and a YouTube link if you want the public page to play a video tour. Then styling: pick a tour type, which sets your pin color on the globe, and choose custom colors for the scene-link arrows and hotspot pins if the defaults do not match your space. Finally, Save destination. I land back on the destination page with a Changes saved banner, and the public tour page reflects the new details right away. Quick, safe, done.

Steps

  1. Open your destination from /creator/destinations and click Edit details.
  2. Change the Name (required) and the Description (up to 2000 characters). The description shows on the destination's public pages.
  3. Leave the Slug field alone unless you must change it. The slug is the tour's public web address, so changing it breaks links and embeds you have already shared. Leave it blank to generate one from the name.
  4. Fill in the location fields if you have them: Country, City, and Latitude and Longitude in decimal degrees. The coordinates place your tour's pin on the discovery globe.
  5. Hero and card images show their recommended size right in the picker: 16 by 9, at least 1600 by 900 for the wide hero, 800 by 450 for the small card image. Optionally add a Website link and a YouTube video link. The YouTube link turns the public page into a video tour.
  6. Under Tour styling, pick a Tour type (it sets the pin color on the globe) and, if you like, custom colors for the scene-link arrows and hotspot pins. You can also set their size in pixels — leave the size boxes blank for the defaults, or raise them if the icons read too small against a busy panorama.
  7. Click Save destination. You return to the destination page with a Changes saved confirmation, and the public tour page updates right away.
