The most common issues of an intranet
Our solution: The customized guide that explains step by step how to use your SharePoint intranet's features.

- HR doesn't know how to train colleagues on using the portal.
Simple configuration
Build a guided tour tailored to your intranet
Intranet managers configure the tour through layout settings, choosing which SharePoint web parts to describe and writing the explanatory text for each step. Steps can be reordered, enabled or disabled individually with a checkbox, and the tour button can be renamed (it defaults to "New intranet's functionalities"). Button background and font colors are set via hex code or color picker, and the button's distance from the right edge is adjustable for both desktop and Teams.
How users navigate the tour
The tour launches automatically the first time a user accesses the company site, though auto-loading can be disabled so the tour opens only when the button is clicked. Users move through steps with the arrow controls: the right arrow advances to the next step and the left arrow returns to the previous one. Steps can be skipped and revisited later, and after the first viewing the tour stays accessible from the home page. Managers can also invalidate cookies to reset tracking and replay the tour for returning users.

Frequently asked questions
Does Intranet Tour work in Microsoft Teams or Viva Connections?
No. Intranet Tour is visible only when the intranet is accessed via the web, not through Microsoft Teams. Because the component relies on cookies, it does not work with Viva Connections. For Teams users, the button distance settings still apply to the web experience but the tour itself displays only in the browser.
Can the guided tour start automatically for new users?
Yes. By default the tour launches automatically the first time a user accesses the company site. Auto-loading can be turned off in the layout settings, in which case users start the tour manually by clicking the tour button. Managers can also invalidate cookies to reset user tracking and force the automatic tour to replay on the next login for returning users.
Which intranet features can the tour explain?
Managers choose which SharePoint web parts to describe and enter explanatory text for each step through dropdown menus in the layout settings. Steps can be ordered into a defined sequence and enabled or disabled individually. The component is best deployed on the homepage and on feature-rich pages that contain multiple applications, so users learn the functions most relevant to their work.
How do users move through the tour steps?
Users navigate with arrow controls: the right arrow advances to the next step and the left arrow returns to the previous step. Navigation is flexible, so explanations can be skipped and reviewed later. After the initial viewing, the tour remains accessible from the home page and can be reopened at any time and on any device that accesses the intranet via web.
