Taking the Tour¶

This guide explains how to navigate the IntroVox tour, what the tour window contains, and the difference between centered and attached steps.

The Tour Window¶

Each step shows:

Header - Title — what this step is about (e.g., 📁 Files) - Close button (✕) — exit the tour without disabling it permanently

Content - Description — information about the feature - Helpful tips — best practices and shortcuts - Visual highlights — important UI elements are outlined

Footer - Back — return to the previous step - Next / Done — continue, or finish on the last step

Navigating Through Steps¶

Moving Forward¶

Click Next, or press Enter

Going Back¶

Click Back, or press Backspace

Exiting¶

Click ✕ in the top right
Or press Escape
Closing this way does not disable the tour — it will appear again next login

Highlighted Elements¶

When a step highlights a specific part of Nextcloud's interface:

The element has a glowing blue border
The rest of the screen is slightly dimmed
You can still click on the highlighted element if you want to try it

Example: when the tour shows the Files app, the Files menu item is highlighted so you can easily find it later.

Centered vs. Attached Steps¶

You'll see two kinds of steps:

Centered Steps¶

Appear in the middle of your screen
Used for general information, welcome, and conclusion
No specific element is highlighted

Attached Steps¶

Appear next to a specific UI element
Point to features you should know about
Show you exactly where to find things

If a target element doesn't exist (e.g., your Nextcloud doesn't have that app installed), the tour automatically falls back to a centered display rather than skipping the step (since v1.4.1).

Completing vs. Closing¶

There are three ways to leave the tour, with different consequences:

Action	Effect
✕ Close	Tour closes; will reappear on next login
Done (last step)	Tour marked complete; won't auto-start again, but you can restart from personal settings
Skip and don't show again (first step)	Immediately disables auto-start; same effect as completing

To take the tour again later, see Personal Settings.
