The Avatar tour shows you everything your character can do. It works on the real editor rather than screenshots: it spotlights each part with a highlight ring and a short explanation, opening the Avatar panel to show it and closing it again after. It changes nothing on your canvas or your character, takes under a minute, and you can leave at any point.
Starting the Tour
The tour never starts or pops up on its own. While you're in Avatar mode, press Start Avatar Tour in the bar along the bottom of the editor, just left of Search. On a phone the button shows only its play icon.
The button is there whatever your role, including a view-only link, since Avatar mode is yours too. It isn't there in an embed. It stays after you've taken the tour, so you can press it again whenever you like.
What It Covers
- Your Avatar: the Avatar button next to Undo and Redo, where your character sheet lives.
- Make It Yours: gender, clothing, hair and size, the dice for a whole new look, and right-clicking your character to swap gender.
- Behaviour and Reactions: jumping jacks, a wave, a spin, a cheer or a dance, and bursts like confetti and hearts.
- Say Something: pressing Enter to type in a bubble above your head, or Send a Message in the panel. Not shown on a view-only link, where you can't speak.
- Give Someone a Push: clicking someone else's character to walk over and push them, and walking with the arrow keys and hopping with Space.
Each step has Next, Back and Skip tour. The last card, You're Ready to Roam, links to the Avatar mode article and ends the tour with Start. If you leave Avatar mode or switch tab mid-tour, it ends as skipped.
Replaying the Tour
Press Start Avatar Tour again, or start it from Settings:
Close Settings. If you're in Avatar mode the tour starts straight away; otherwise the Start Avatar Tour button is there the next time you walk as an avatar.
