Editor basics
Orient yourself in the tour editor: select a step, use its contextual controls, make a change, and Preview.
Use this page to learn the manual editing loop, not every editor control.
Choose where to work
| When you need to | Start here |
|---|---|
| Change content on the selected step | The canvas and contextual controls. |

What you need
- A project that opens in the editor. If the project is still being prepared, check its processing state.
- One specific change you want to make.
- Any replacement image or copy needed for that change.
The basic editing loop
Select a step
Choose the step counter in the lower-left corner to open the step list, then select the step you want to edit. The canvas and toolbar update for the selected step.
Open the step counter, then choose the step you want to change. Read the contextual toolbar
Confirm the step type above the canvas, then read the controls below it. An Image step can expose Insert, Layout, Voiceover, and more actions.
After selecting an Image step, choose the control that matches the change you need. If the expected control is missing, check the selected step and its type before continuing.
Make the change and check the result
Choose the toolbar control that matches the change, then confirm the result on the canvas. For example, a Blank step can expose its color choices.
On a Blank step, choose a color and confirm that the canvas updates. Preview the tour
Choose Preview in the editor header when a change affects what viewers see or do. Before sharing, move through the complete tour from the beginning and check the step order, content, guidance, and ending.
Use Preview to check viewer behavior, then review the complete tour before sharing. Return to the editor to correct anything that does not match your intended result, then preview again.
Where to go deeper
This orientation deliberately stops after one manual change and Preview. Continue with Manage steps, Layouts and backgrounds, or Hotspots, areas, and callouts for a focused walkthrough.
When the result is not what you expect
The toolbar does not show the control you expected
Confirm the selected step and its type. The toolbar is contextual. Return to the step list, select the intended step, and check the toolbar again.
You cannot find the step you need
Open the step selector again and confirm the step label above the canvas. If the step is still missing, stop editing and contact support with the project and expected step.
A change is missing in Preview
Return to the editor and reopen the affected step. Confirm that the editor shows the intended value, then preview again. If the editor and Preview still differ, stop and contact support with the project, step, and visible mismatch.
