Beyond the Scan: Matterport Dashboard

Once your tour is built, organize, share, and customize it in the Matterport web dashboard at my.matterport.com. The dashboard guides walk through Folders, sharing & embedding Spaces, and Display Settings.

Coming soon as their own lessons. The dashboard guides will be migrated into per-lesson routes in a follow-up. For now, reach out to your admin if you need a walkthrough of the Matterport cloud workflow.
