# The Settings tab: languages, groups, sharing and the Trash URL: https://www.panoramr.com/help/tour-settings Category: Build your tour Keywords: settings tab, tour settings, save properties, tour languages, panorama groups, ungrouped items label, danger zone, move to trash, accept ownership Last checked: 2026-11-01 Every card of a tour's Settings tab: languages, Draft Workflows, panorama groups, collaborators and the Danger Zone, and who can use each. The **Settings** tab holds the settings that are about the whole tour rather than its look: the extra languages, whether edits wait for you to publish them, the groups you sort panoramas into, the people you share the tour with, and the way to move it to the Trash. **Who can use it.** The owner, and a collaborator whose role includes the **Settings Tab**: by default an Admin. Someone without it who opens the address is sent to **My Tours** with the message `You do not have permission to manage this tour's settings.` Two cards are narrower: **Project Collaborators** is the owner's only, and the **Danger Zone** shows only to someone who may delete the tour. Every plan has the tab. **Basic and Advanced.** The tab is in the **Advanced** view only. In **Basic** it is not in the row, but a link to it (the three-dot menu of a tour in **My Tours**, an invitation) opens it, and **Move this tour to the Trash** is at the foot of the **Tour** tab. **When visitors get a change.** A change you save here reaches visitors at once, unless the tour uses [Draft Workflows](https://www.panoramr.com/help/draft-workflows): then they get it after **Publish changes**. **The name, description and theme are not here.** Change the tour's name and description on the [Tour tab](https://www.panoramr.com/help/editor-tour-tab), and its look in the Design tab's **Themes** panel ([Themes and My designs](https://www.panoramr.com/help/themes-and-my-designs)). ## Save the page ### Save Properties Saves the Draft Workflows box. Everything else on the page saves at once. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), the blue button at the top right of the page. Advanced view. **Default:** Not applicable. **What it does:** Sends the page's fields to the tour. The button says `Saving...` while it works. Adding or removing a language, adding, renaming, moving or removing a group, choosing a group's **Part of**, changing **Ungrouped Items Label**, and moving a group's panoramas save at once, without waiting for the button. Saving needs the **Settings Tab**. A change to the Draft Workflows box is kept only when you click this button. **What visitors see:** The saved languages and groups, on their next visit (with Draft Workflows, after **Publish changes**). **Related:** [Edit a tour's details on the Tour tab](https://www.panoramr.com/help/editor-tour-tab). ## Tour Languages ### Language to add Adds a language the tour can be written in. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Tour Languages**: the list `Select language...` and the **Add** button. Advanced view. **Default:** No extra language: the card says `English (Default) is currently the only active language.` Once you add one, the list shows `English (Default)`, marked `Native`, above it. **What it does:** Adds the language to the tour at once and puts it in the **Editing** list above the tabs, where you choose which language you are writing. The list offers the languages the player is made in. A language cannot be added twice. **What visitors see:** The tour in that language, once you have written it. On a free tour that was never hosted, visitors see English until the tour is hosted or you are on a paid plan, and a line on this card says so with a link to the plans. See [Make a tour in several languages](https://www.panoramr.com/help/how-to-create-a-360-virtual-tour-in-multiple-languages). **Needs:** Nothing else; you can add languages, translate and preview them on any plan. ### Languages in use Takes a language off the tour. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Tour Languages**, the list under the box. Advanced view. **Default:** Shows only English until you add one. **What it does:** **Remove** asks `Turn this language off?` and then switches the language off at once. What you wrote for it is kept, but it cannot be edited and visitors do not see it. If it was the language the editor was set to, the editor goes back to English. **What visitors see:** The language disappears from the tour. ## Publishing Strategy ### Enable Draft Workflows Holds your edits back until you publish them. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Publishing Strategy**. Advanced view. **Default:** Off. **What it does:** With it on, visitors keep the version you last published while you edit, and a **Publish changes** button appears above the tabs. With it off, saves reach visitors at once. The box takes effect when you click **Save Properties**. On a free trial tour the card is greyed out with `Publishing is not available on the trial. Create a free account to use it.` **What visitors see:** The published version until you click **Publish changes**. **Related:** [Hold back edits until you publish them](https://www.panoramr.com/help/draft-workflows). ## The Trash ### Move to Trash Moves the whole tour and its panoramas to the Trash. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Danger Zone**. Advanced view. The card shows to the owner, and to an Admin only when you have ticked **Enable deleting the tour** on the Client Workspaces page. **Default:** Not applicable. **What it does:** Asks `Move this tour to the Trash?` and moves the tour. It stays in the Trash until you delete it for good, so you can restore it from there; only the owner can restore it. A tour in a Vault opens a window first, asking what the Vault does next. On a free trial tour the button reads **Delete tour** and deletes the tour for good, and the trial starts again. **What visitors see:** The tour is no longer available. **Related:** [Deleting tours and recovering them](https://www.panoramr.com/help/deleting-projects-panoramas-and-data-recovery), [Choose what Viewers, Editors and Admins can open](https://www.panoramr.com/help/client-workspaces). ## Panorama Groups ### Panorama Groups Makes the labels you sort panoramas into. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Panorama Groups**: a box `e.g. Ground Floor, Bedrooms...` with **Add**, and the list of groups with `↑` and `↓`, `Part of:`, **Edit** and **Remove**. Advanced view. **Default:** No groups. **What it does:** **Add** creates a group and saves at once. **Edit** renames it, and the new name goes with the panoramas that had it. **Remove** asks first, says how many panoramas it is on, and takes the group off them. The `↑` and `↓` buttons change the order visitors see, and `Part of:` puts a group under another one ([Part of](https://www.panoramr.com/help/organizing-tours-with-panorama-groups)); both save at once. When the editor is set to another language the buttons read **Translate** and you can only write the group's name in that language; adding and removing is for English. You assign a group to a panorama on the **Panoramas** tab. **What visitors see:** The groups as headings where the tour's menus and lists use them. **Related:** [Organize panoramas into groups](https://www.panoramr.com/help/organizing-tours-with-panorama-groups). ### Ungrouped Items Label Names the heading for panoramas that are in no group. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Panorama Groups**. Advanced view. **Default:** `Other Panoramas` **What it does:** Sets the folder name for panoramas not assigned to a group. In another language the box holds the label for that language, and shows the English one as a hint. It saves when you leave the box after a change, with a green line and a tick. **What visitors see:** That name as the heading above the ungrouped panoramas. ## Sharing ### Project Collaborators Invites people to work on this tour. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Project Collaborators**. Advanced view. The owner only; greyed out on a free trial tour. **Default:** The tour is private and shared with nobody. **What it does:** Type an **Email Address**, choose an **Access Level** (Viewer, Editor or Admin) and click **Share**. **Active People** lists who has access, with a list to change a role and buttons to offer the tour to them or remove them; **Pending Invitations** lists invitations waiting for an account. Everything about roles, limits and what each person can open is on [Invite collaborators to a tour and set their role](https://www.panoramr.com/help/managing-team-access-and-project-roles). The card also holds the **Hand over to a client** box when Vaults are on sale. **What visitors see:** Nothing. Collaborators work in the editor; the published tour is the same for everyone. **Related:** [Transfer a tour](https://www.panoramr.com/help/transfer-a-tour), [Hand a tour over to a client](https://www.panoramr.com/help/hand-a-tour-over-to-a-client). ### Take Ownership Accepts a tour that its creator has offered to you. **Where:** Settings tab (Settings tab), card **Accept Tour Ownership**. It shows only to the person the tour was offered to. **Default:** Not shown. **What it does:** **Take Ownership** asks `Take ownership of this tour?`, and when you accept, you become the owner and the former owner becomes an Admin. The tour's files are moved into your account, which can take a few minutes for a big tour, and the tour cannot be changed while they move. The tab is open to a person with a pending transfer even if their role has no Settings tab. **What visitors see:** Nothing. **Related:** [Transfer a tour](https://www.panoramr.com/help/transfer-a-tour). ## Troubleshooting **The Settings tab is missing.** You are in the **Basic** view, or your role does not include it. Switch to **Advanced** with the switch at the right end of the tab row. **I ticked Enable Draft Workflows and nothing changed.** Click **Save Properties**. The row above the tabs changes only after the save. **The language I added does not show for visitors.** On a free tour that was never hosted, visitors see English: see [Language to add](https://www.panoramr.com/help/tour-settings#language-to-add). Also write the texts in the language, and open the tour once with it. **There is no Danger Zone.** Only the owner, or an Admin with **Enable deleting the tour** ticked, has it. **Save Properties answers with an error.** The tour has no name in the language the **Editing** list is set to. Give it one on the [Tour tab](https://www.panoramr.com/help/editor-tour-tab).
