# Creating a new Tour

## Creating a new guide

1. Sign in to the Adopt Management Console with your credentials
2. Click on the name of the Space you want to work on
3. Click **Guides** from the menu pane on the left
4. Click **Create Guide** in the top right corner of the screen&#x20;

You will be given two options to choose from.&#x20;

* **Tooltip -** one guide
* **Tour -** a sequence of guides

5. From the Create Guide button, select **Tour**
6. Name the Guide
7. Provide an initial URL

***Note:** This URL will be used to navigate to the application where you can start modifying your guide in **editor mode**.*

***Note:** We recommend you add a brief description for your future reference. This will come in handy to keep track of the guides as you add more to cover all the journeys that a user might take in your application.*

8. Once you have filled the information in, click **Create.**

The created guide will now sit here:

Now that you have created a new guide, either repeat the process to create other guides for different parts of your application, or add steps to the guide and define its parameters.

Click **Open in Editor** and you will be redirected to the Adopt Editor where you can modify your guide with many personalization settings provided.

***Note:** At this stage, newly created guides do not have any steps, meaning the guide does not yet know where to start or what the next step is.*

## Adding a step

1. Open your chosen guide in the Adopt Editor
2. Click **Add a Step**, or alternatively click the **+** icon

3. Click **Step** from the dropdown, or use the keyboard shortcut **Shift + A** \
   ***Note**: This will activate the element picker where you can choose an element on the page to associate to this step*
4. Either hover the cursor over your page and choose an element by clicking on it, or using the **Shift + S** keyboard shortcut. This will create a step assigned to the chosen element \
   ***Note: Shift + S** keyboard shortcut is handy, especially when an element can’t be chosen by a mouse. This may happen when you want to pick an element in a pop-up menu which isn’t visible when clicked. In such cases, you can use the keyboard shortcut.*

Now that you have created a new guide and added a new step, you can add as many as necessary to cover every possible scenario where a user might need guidance.&#x20;

You can also customize the Step by clicking on the gear icon of the step.
