Tours overview

The fundamental theory of product design: users spend more time in other products than they do yours. No matter how well-designed your interface, no matter how much user testing you do, users are going to find aspects of your product confusing.

That's where tours come in - they help show users a path through your product, and give them context for what each step does.

Situations where you can use tours

Some common situations where you might want to employ a Tour:

  • To explain a new part of your interface to existing users
  • To proactively walk a new user through a critical flow
  • To guide a confused user toward help resources
  • To respond to a user's query of the form "How do I do X?"

How do I set up branching or conditional paths for my tour?

There are two options to achieve branching or conditional paths.

  1. Use multiple nudges that are connected via button actions. For any nudge step, you can add a Button that has an action of Show nudge.
  2. Use a single nudge that has "jumps". For any nudge step, you can add a Button that has an action of Go to step.
