Guidebook Web pages are highly customizable. All Guidebook Web pages will contain the guide’s General Information section, which includes your custom guide branding, the guide description, location, and dates. Your Guidebook Web page has the same privacy setting as the mobile guide.
Guidebook Web Configuration Changes: What You Need to Know
Starting on July 17, 2024, all new guides created will automatically include the new Guidebook Web configuration. This means that any guide built after this date will feature the updated tools and layout, making it easier for you to create and manage your content.
The Guidebook Web configuration is only available to users on the Inform or Engage plans. If you’re currently on a different plan, you’ll be prompted to upgrade to access the new configuration tools.
This ensures that only eligible users can fully take advantage of the new features and functionality. For guides created before July 17, 2024, you will have the option to either keep the old Guidebook Web configuration, which displays on a separate page, or convert to the new configuration with the Availability ribbon.
Once you decide to convert an existing guide to the new configuration, please note that this change is permanent. The conversion is one-way, so you won’t be able to revert to the previous setup once the change is made. After converting to the new configuration, the Promote section on your guide dashboard will no longer prompt you to configure Guidebook Web. Instead, it will automatically redirect you to the guide-building dashboard, allowing you to continue working on your guide without interruptions.
These updates are designed to streamline your experience and provide you with improved tools for building and managing your guides.
Configuring your Guidebook Web Page
Builders can now make more of their guide content available on the web-based companion to the app. We have added support for Folders, Schedule Tracks, and Pinned features. Additionally, an update to Guidebook Web configuration makes it easier for builders to design the web-based experience at the same time as they design the app-based experience.
Your app and the complementary website are designed simultaneously. For each menu item, visit the Settings tab to configure your guide for app users and for web users. On the guide-building canvas, a ribbon in the navigation menu informs you whether a feature is available on the app, on web, on both, or on neither.
If your event is virtual or hybrid, we highly recommend configuring your Guidebook Web page so that users can access your content from multiple devices.
