Overview
Space Steps are the foundation of location-based journeys. They can display:
- Regular Images: Photos or illustrations of locations
- 360° Panoramas: Immersive spherical images users can explore
- Floor Plans: Interactive maps with hotspot

Not Generated by the Journey Wizard
Space Steps are not produced by the Journey Wizard. They rely on imagery you need to supply yourself — panoramic photos, uploaded floor plans or curated images with hotspots — which cannot be inferred from a text prompt or document. If you want a Space Step in a wizard-generated journey, open the journey in the builder after the wizard finishes and add the Space Step manually. See: journey-wizard.
