How to Archive a Tour That You Have in GoThru

Syafriko Yuliusman -

Archiving a tour in GoThru helps free up your storage by deleting panoramas from your account, while still allowing the possibility to restore or reuse them later.

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Access the Tour Details

  • From your GoThru Dashboard, open the tour you want to archive from the list under “My Tours.”
  • Click Tour Details in the Tour Menu on the left.
  • At the top of the tour view, click the Archive Tour button. (See label 1 in the image)

Step 2: Confirm Archiving

  • A confirmation window will appear explaining the archive process.
  • Click the blue Archive button to proceed. (See label 2)

Step 3: Download the Archive File

  1. Shortly after archiving, GoThru deletes the panoramas from its servers and sends you an email with a download link to the archive ZIP file.

Step 4: Access Your Archive via Email

  1. You will receive an email containing the archive file’s download link.
    • The link is valid for two weeks.
    • Below the confirmation, you’ll see an example of the notification text.

Step 5: Save the Archive

  1. Use the link in the GoThru email to download the file and save it to your local storage or Google Drive for future use.

Step 6: Update Storage After Archiving

  1. After archiving, go back to the Storage section in the left-hand menu and click Update Storage. Note: It might take a few moments for your updated available space to reflect.

Step 7: Re-upload When Needed

  1. If you ever need to edit or restore the tour, you can re-upload the panoramas to the same constellation.

The tour’s metadata remains intact in GoThru.
