ThingLink Quick Start Guide

Click on one of your photos, and then click the blue 'Edit' button.

Next, click the 'Add tag' button.

Choose the type of Tag you'd like to add.

Transit tag

This tag, when clicked, takes the viewer away from the current image, and on to the page of another ThingLink image, video, or 360 image. Use this tag to move from one creation to another.

The tag icon will change to a small thumbnail of the destination scene when the viewer hovers over it. In addition to that, you can add a short (30 characters) description text to let the viewer know where the tag leads.
Check out how this works below, and see this article to learn more about the preview icon update.

Once the viewer transition from the first scene in your tour, two buttons will be added to the top left corner:

• 'Back' button, which takes the viewer to the previous scene

• 'Home' button, which takes the viewer to the first scene in your tour

Make sure to include return tags so users don't get stuck in any locations!

Text & media tag

This tag serves multiple purposes and adjusts the layout based on the content. I It allows you to combine text, images, videos, links and background audio. Explore the image below to get acquainted with its interface.

Text & media tag comes with 11 different layouts. You can change the layout by clicking the 'Change layout' button at the top. You can read more about layouts here. Most layouts are static, but the default layout will adapt depending on what content you add - see below.

Filling in ‘Description’ and/or ‘Title’ will create a tag with just text. The description text will be aligned to the center if there are less than 4 lines of text. If there are 4 or more lines of text, it will align to the left. This logic persists when adding other elements, such as links (buttons) and images.

Editing tags

After selecting a format, choose a tag icon by clicking ‘Change icon’, and then start filling the fields that you need. In the case of image and text tags, tag elements will not show if you leave the fields empty.

You can change a tag’s position by clicking and dragging it across the screen. After adding tags, use the Settings button to change the colors used in the tags. Either select from the pre-set color combinations or enter your own colors. This is also where you can find the option to remove the ThingLink logo from your image, add a background audio to the whole scene, and a few other options. See this article for more information on how you can customize your ThingLinks.
