Goal

Take a tour of an administrative page.

What are tours?

The core Tour module provides users with tours, which are guided tours of the administrative interface. Each tour starts on a particular administrative page, and consists of one or more tips that highlight elements of the page, guide you through a workflow, or explain key concepts. Users need Access tour permission to view tours, and JavaScript must be enabled in their browsers.

Steps

  1. Make sure that the core Tour module is installed, and that you have a role with the Access tour permission. Also, make sure that a toolbar module is installed (either the core Toolbar module or a contributed module replacement).
  2. Visit an administrative page that has a tour, such as the edit view page provided by the core Views UI module.
  3. Click the Tour button at the right end of the toolbar (left end for right-to-left languages). The first tip of the tour should appear.
  4. Click the Next button to advance to the next tip, and End tour at the end to close the tour.
