Do you know about Guided Tours?

Pictures of the 3 new OSM Board Members...

In case you have not heard, besides Joomla! having turned 20 this past August 17th, we keep adding cool, useful functionalities to Joomla version after version... and one such feature is Guided Tours... but did you know?

Guided Tours started with GSoC 2017 and was taken over the finish line in Joomla! 4.3. You heard right, back in April 18th, 2023.

Guided Tours continue to evolve. Joomla! 5.1 saw autostart tours. Joomla! 5.2 brought autostart enhancements that led to the What's New Tour that ships with each new version of Joomla.

The Guided Tours team which celebrated 2 years June 2025, has worked to make the creation of tours easier offering a Toolkit. The Guided Tours Toolkit helps with target identification and the import/export of tours.

Have you used Joomla Guided Tours to onboard new users or learn new features? Need assistance creating Guided Tours for your extension?

Contact us on MatterMost at the guided-tour channel. We are here to help.
