I created a guided tour, just to see if I could do it. Pretty easy, it gets easier every time. However, when I run a specific tour "Order an Apple iPad 3 from Service Catalog via Service Portal", I periodically get a red error banner that says "Tour was abandoned". It doesn't always trigger and it seems to happen near the end of the tour but not always at the same step. I cannot find any information within the Community about this error message. It may be a new thing.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you handle it? I have attached a screenshot of the error; it doesn't stay on the screen very long, so I had to use print screen and be quick about it.
Please advise. Thank you!

Solution #1 is not ideal because the "tour abandoned" error can show up at any time after Step #5. I would have to insert a couple of intermediate steps and that shouldn't be necessary whenever the form changes on the screen.
I tried Solution #2 and it seems to work just fine. Like I said, the error does not always show up but it has not shown up on the first test I ran. I will run additional tests and see if the error shows up at all anymore.
But you may have just solved my problem. I will let you know what further testing reveals. Thank you very much!!

Hi Alan J. Robinson,
Did you find the solution, We are facing the same issue while running the tour.
Thank you

Anupam Singh provided 2 solutions that are provided in this thread. #1 did not work. #2 worked, but it really doesn't address the issue of what is going on. I am having constant issues with tours being abandoned. When I create a tour and run it, everything is fine. The next time I run it, the tour is abandoned at some point. The next time I run it, the tour is abandoned but at a different point than the previous test. I am running out of hair to pull out. 🙂
Best of luck and please do let me know if you find any other helpful information.

Sorry to hear that.
We are trying to confirm/replicate/fix this. In the meantime, could you please raise an incident/PRB for this?
We will get back to you as soon as we have any updates.
Thanks

Hi,
Same issue I also faced but finally solved. The problem was with the URL.
Go to guided tour step, under "other" tab, "options" field will be there with URL. Add forward slash (/) after ? in the URL. Add this to all steps and check if some steps are not working remove the / for them and see.
Hope this helps.😊
