Add multiple images to create a gallery. TemplatesA template makes creating specialized tours easier by letting you enter content once and reuse it across multiple stops. For example, you can add architect names and biographies and building styles for an architectural tour, and link those architects and styles to multiple stops. Use a template To use a template, first select one of the available templates in the drop-down: Architecture, Art Gallery, or Aviation.New fields appear. For this example, we'll use the Architecture template.We then link an architect, style, enter a date, and enter a building address (if needed).Some templates include a Custom Fields option for unique attributes. To add a custom field, click Add Item. Then, enter the field data. Custom fields can be rearranged by clicking and dragging the handle on the left side of the field. Template example Data like biographies or style descriptions are shown as collapsed links. Tapping one displays the expanded content. BlocksBlocks are what you use to create the bulk of tour stop content: text, images and galleries, videos, and interactive elements like polls, quizzes, embeds, buttons, before/after comparisons, 3D models, collection objects, and a word guessing game.If adding text content blocks, there are additional special features like tooltips, which you can learn about in Creating a Tooltip.
