Guided Tour

The guided tour is a step-by-step walkthrough that introduces the main features of Get Based. The page dims and a spotlight highlights one element at a time, with a tooltip explaining what it does.

The App Tour (7 Steps)

The main tour covers seven stops:

1. Welcome — A brief introduction to Get Based
2. Drop Zone — Where to import your lab PDFs or JSON files
3. Sidebar Navigation — How to move between biomarker categories
4. Context Cards — The lifestyle cards that give AI analysis more context
5. Settings — Where to set your profile, units, AI provider, and privacy options
6. Send Feedback — How to report bugs or suggest features
7. Ask AI — The chat panel for asking questions about your results

Auto-Trigger on First Visit

The tour starts automatically the first time you open the dashboard. It will not run again after you complete or skip it — Get Based remembers your progress.

Navigating the Tour

• Click Next to advance to the next step
• Click Back to return to the previous step
• Click Skip or press Escape to exit the tour at any point
• Progress dots at the bottom of the tooltip show where you are in the sequence
• Click the dimmed overlay to dismiss the tour

Restarting the Tour

If you want to take the tour again, go to Settings → Display and click Take a Tour. This restarts the tour from the beginning regardless of whether you completed it before.

Cycle Tour (8 Steps)

A separate tour covers the menstrual cycle tracking features. It is available for female profiles and covers:

1. Welcome to cycle features
2. The cycle summary card
3. Recommended next blood draw date
4. Phase badges on your lab dates
5. Period log
6. Cycle-specific alerts (heavy flow, iron, perimenopause)
7. Cycle phase bands in the Layers dropdown
8. Asking the AI about cycle-related results

The cycle tour starts automatically the first time you save your menstrual cycle data. You can also re-trigger it at any time by clicking the ? button in the cycle section header on the dashboard.

TIP

Even if you dismiss a tour early, you can always restart it. The app tour is in Settings → Display; the cycle tour is the ? button in the cycle section.
