The "What's New" Tour

After big releases, a short guided tour walks you through what's changed — here's what to expect and how to use it.

Written by Schae Lilley

What the tour is

Omega evolves quickly, and rather than leave you to discover changes on your own, the platform includes a built-in "What's New" tour. It's a short sequence of coach marks — small highlighted callouts that point at parts of the screen and explain what's new or what's moved.

The tour is typically around five steps and takes less than a minute to complete.

When it appears

The tour appears automatically the first time you sign in after a major release. You don't need to do anything to trigger it — if there's something new worth showing you, Omega will offer the walkthrough.

Once you've completed or dismissed a tour, it won't show again for that release. The next tour only appears when there's another significant update.

Stepping through the tour

  1. When the tour appears, read the first callout — it highlights a specific part of the interface and explains what it does or what's changed.

  2. Click the next button to move to the following step. Each step points at a different area of the screen.

  3. After the final step, the tour closes and you're back in Omega exactly where you were.

Tip: It's worth taking the minute to step through. The tour usually covers things that have moved or been renamed — the exact changes that can otherwise leave you hunting for a page you used yesterday.

Dismissing the tour

In the middle of something? You can dismiss the tour at any point instead of stepping through it. Just close it and carry on — it won't interrupt your work again.

Note: Dismissing the tour doesn't hide any features; everything it would have shown you is still there. The tour is purely a guided pointer, not a gate.

If you missed what changed

If you dismissed a tour and later wish you hadn't, don't worry:

  • The left rail in Workflow shows a short explainer when you hover over each item, which covers what every page does.

  • You can always ask Iris in Chat — it can explain where something lives or what a page is for.
