Tour playback settings

Configure navigation, auto zoom, motion, autoplay, cursor, and callout visibility.

Set how viewers move through the tour, then preview the complete experience before sharing it.

What you need

  • A tour with its final step order.
  • A decision about whether viewers should control the pace or follow an automatic sequence.
  • A desktop and mobile device for Preview review.

Configure playback

  1. Open Tour Settings

    Open the selected step menu, choose Settings, then open General.

  2. Choose viewer navigation

    Turn on Show navigation bar when viewers should see progress and jump directly to another step.

  3. Set framing and motion

    If Auto zoom is available, turn it on to let Layerpath frame steps automatically. Choose Slow, Smooth, or Quick for the motion between steps.

    Auto zoom is a tour setting. An authored zoom is a focus region you add to one step.

  4. Choose the pace

    Turn on Enable autoplay only when the tour should advance without a viewer action. Choose 3, 5, 7, or 9 seconds per step. If voiceover runs longer than the selected duration, it continues until it finishes.

  5. Choose a cursor style

    Choose Default, the pointer, or the circle. Use the style that makes the intended action easy to follow without covering the target.

  6. Control callout details

    Open Callouts in Tour Settings. Choose whether to show callouts, arrows, and the Back and Next navigation buttons.

  7. Preview on desktop and mobile

    Move through the complete tour. Check direct navigation, motion, step timing, cursor placement, callout readability, and Back and Next behavior.

When playback is not what you expect

The tour advances too quickly

Increase the duration per step or turn off autoplay. Preview steps with longer voiceover before choosing a duration.

Framing moves too quickly

Choose Slow or Smooth. If one step still needs a specific focus region, add an authored zoom to that step.

Return to Tour Settings and check both General and Callouts. Preview again after changing the relevant toggle.
