How it works
We size the tour
Step count is capped by workflow complexity and by a coverage ratio, so the tour never tries to cover everything.
Get a tone and structure
The tour's tone is matched to your audience — plain-language for non-technical users, concise for technical ones.

Frequently asked questions
Why cap the tour instead of covering every feature?
Tours that try to explain everything overwhelm new users and get skipped. A short tour focused only on the path to first value performs better than a comprehensive one.
Should every user see this tour?
No. Make it skippable and re-triggerable from a help menu so experienced users or those who prefer to explore aren't forced through it.
What if my workflow is genuinely complex?
The recommended step count scales up with complexity, but even a complex workflow should defer secondary features to in-context tooltips or a help center rather than a longer upfront tour.
