The Custom Tours can also:
- Be added to a Google Site page.
- Can be viewed on Chromebooks using the provided link.
- Turned in on Google Classroom as a link.
You will be given a link to copy when you publish the tour.
When you publish a tour you will be asked Unlisted or Public. I would suggest unlisted and get approval in writing from admin if you want to make it public.
Maple Syrup! The Library wants to add a tour of our Maple Syrup collection!
Why isn't Tour Creator working correctly on iOS?
If you have iOS 12.2 or higher, make sure Motion & Orientation Access is turned on:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Safari.
- Under "Privacy & Security," turn On Motion & Orientation Access.
