Embed the tour, unless the files must sit on your own web server. Copy the **Web Embed Code** from the **Publish** tab into your page: Panoramr serves the tour, every plan can do it, and it needs the tour to be published. Until the tour is hosted in a Vault or in your plan, the embed carries Panoramr's branding. It shows the stored copy of the tour, which can be up to 30 days old after some edits ([my changes do not show](https://www.panoramr.com/help/when-do-changes-show)).

Use the ZIP when your own server must hold the tour. It is a snapshot: after a change you download it again, or use **Download only what changed**. The free download is the Standard design, with Panoramr's branding on a Free plan; your own design needs Pro, Agency or Enterprise. A map window and YouTube or Vimeo videos still need the internet, and Panoramr does not count views of a downloaded tour.
