Document tours about grist-core HOT 5 CLOSED

You can definitely use this feature! As Paul said, it isn't polished yet, but it works! Here's the fastest way to learn how to build one:

1. Visit a template with a doc tour and edit the URL to add /p/GristDocTour after the document's name. E.G. https://templates.getgrist.com/gtzQwTXkgzFG/Meme-Generator/p/GristDocTour

This reveals a special, hidden table named GristDocTour. It is only visible when you modify the url as described above.

It has 4 columns.

• Title - the pop-up header; this is a text column
• Body - the pop-up body; this is a text column
• Placement - a text column that places the pop-up in relation to a cell with words like right, top, bottom. https://popper.js.org/ has an interactive tool that shows how this works.
• Location - a text, formula column with the formula SELF_HYPERLINK()+$Location_Cell SELF_HYPERLINK adds the URL through to the end of the document's title.
• Location Cell - another text column. This is where you copy and past a cell's anchor link from /p onwards. E.G. /p/3#a1.s3.r3.c3

2. Create a table named GristDocTour in your document with the columns described above.

Document tours were implemented, and are used in many examples in https://templates.getgrist.com/

The implementation wasn't polished to the point where it became a feature that users could apply to their own documents in a friendly, documented way. Leave a comment on this thread if you're interested in that.

Would love to know more about this feature, or other ways of helping people "use" the table(s) that I have created for them (i.e. tooltips or similar)

Thanks, that is actually quite simple!

FYI, there's three more optional columns you may add to a doc tour. Here's the full explanation in our forum: https://community.getgrist.com/t/creating-document-tours/688
