Guidebook settings & styling

The Settings tab of a guidebook controls its branding, how the home grid looks, and which navigation tabs guests see. Most options take effect immediately on the published guidebook — there's no separate re-publish step.

Styling — colours

Three colours define the guidebook's look. They apply across the whole guest experience, so a quick preview on your phone after changing them is worth it.

  • Primary colour — your main brand colour. It's used for the top bar, the bottom navigation, buttons, links and active states. Pick the colour that best represents your property or company.
  • Text on primary — the colour of text and icons that sit on top of the primary colour (for example the title in the top bar). Choose white for dark primary colours, or a dark tone for light primary colours, so everything stays readable.
  • Page background — the background behind the tiles and content pages. The default is a soft warm neutral that flatters any brand colour. You can tint it lightly toward your brand if you prefer a more coloured feel.

Tiles & home layout

  • Show images on tiles — when on, a page that has a header photo shows that photo as a round thumbnail on its home tile. Pages without a photo keep their icon. When off, every tile shows its icon. Icon tiles use a soft, round, brand-tinted badge.
  • Show listing in slider — adds your linked listing's cover photo as the first slide of the hero slider at the top of the home screen. Only available when the guidebook is linked to a listing.

Local guide display

  • Show categories as tiles — displays your local-guide categories (Eat, See, Do, and so on) as large clickable tiles instead of a plain text list.
  • Hide places until category selected — guests first choose a category before any places are shown. This keeps the first screen tidy when you have a long list of recommendations.

The Navigation bar toggles control which tabs appear in the bottom navigation of the guidebook: Home, Info, Explore (local guide), Menu and Messages. Turn off any tab you don't need so guests only see what's relevant.
