How to Use the Deprecated Tour Module in Drupal 10 for User Onboarding
Joshua Mitchell revisits Drupal's deprecated Tour module and finds it surprisingly valuable for user onboarding. Though removed in Drupal 11, the module still works in Drupal 10 and offers a clean, intuitive interface for building step-by-step user guides. Joshua outlines the process for installing, configuring, and customising the module, including permissions and route assignments.
He offers practical tips on creating tours, managing default ones, and positioning tooltips using selectors. A standout feature is the ability to export tours as config files for reuse in custom or contributed modules. Joshua also highlights the utility of the Tour Auto submodule, which enables automatic tour launches—a crucial enhancement for first-time users.
The post is highly useful for site builders needing lightweight onboarding without third-party services. While not a comprehensive replacement for documentation, Tour provides a quick-start visual layer for training users, especially on intranets or content-heavy sites.
