Launch and manage tours

Product tours is in private alpha

Product Tours is currently in private alpha. Share your thoughts and we'll reach out with early access.

Currently only available on the web. Requires posthog-js >= v1.324.0.

Launching a tour

Tours won't show until you launch them, regardless of targeting method.

  1. Go to your tour in Product tours
  2. Click Launch

Auto-launch

When auto-launch is enabled, the tour automatically shows when a user meets all targeting conditions.

If auto-launch is disabled, the tour won't show automatically. This is useful if you want to trigger tours programmatically or from other tours.

Stopping a tour

To stop a running tour, click Stop. The tour stops showing immediately.

Editing live tours

You can edit a running tour. Changes take effect immediately:

  • Content changes (text, images, buttons)
  • Targeting changes (URL, user filters)
  • Appearance changes (colors, positioning)

Archiving tours

Archive a tour when you no longer need it. Archived tours:

  • Stop showing to users immediately
  • Remain in the archived tab for reference
  • Keep their analytics data
  • Can be restored if needed

Deleting tours

Delete permanently removes a tour and cannot be undone.

Delete is only available for:

  • Draft tours – tours that have never been launched
  • Archived tours – launched tours that have been archived

Launched tours must be archived first before they can be deleted.

Note: Tour interaction events in your data are not affected by deletion. Only the tour configuration is removed.
