How to Edit a Published iGUIDE: Everything You Can Change

Updated

Overview

Most changes to a published iGUIDE are made in one place: the Edit View Page in the iGUIDE Portal. Use this article to find the change you want to make, where to make it, and the step-by-step guide for it.

Looking for account-wide settings instead? This article covers edits to one published iGUIDE. To change the defaults applied to every new iGUIDE, see How to Edit Your iGUIDE Default Settings.

Opening the Edit View Page

Every edit in this article starts the same way:

  1. Log into the iGUIDE Portal
  2. Click My iGUIDEs at the top of the page
  3. Find the iGUIDE you want to change and click the blue Edit button

The top of the page holds the iGUIDE's settings (title, start options, colours, options). Scroll down to reach the 3D Tour Editor, where you change labels, floors and rooms.

Important: when you're done, scroll to the bottom and click the blue Save button. Changes aren't kept until you save.

Changes to the Tour, Viewer and PDF

These settings are at the top of the Edit View Page. Open the page, make your change, then click Save.

Title

Start Options

Choose how the iGUIDE opens: 3D Tour, 3D Tour: Autoplay, Gallery, Gallery - Slideshow, Video, Video - Autoplay, or a video that plays first and then opens the 3D Tour. Autoplay follows the order the panos were submitted in Stitch. Video options support YouTube and Vimeo.
