What do the Link, Options and Implicit choices within the Other tab of a Guided Tour step do?

I'm still learning more about Guided Tours, but when editing the steps, I came across the below three options in the Other tab:

If somebody could tell me what those three options under the Other tab do, that would be really useful.

Hi Matthew!

tl;dr: When "Implicit" is checked, the current tour step has been accomplished if user navigates to a different page.

Full story:

I've experimentally found out that "Implicit" checkbox might be very useful. Imagine the situation that the tour guides users through the search experience on a portal homepage, and continuing on the search results page.

Users are guided to put in a search query and submit the search. There are 2 options how users can submit a search:

1. Using 'Enter' key
2. Clicking the magnifying glass icon

This creates a challenge for the Tour - while we can ask the user to use a specific one of the options, if the user uses the other one, the tour would get abandoned.

It is possible to configure the tour step action as "Using enter key on the input field", which in combination with checking the "Implicit" checkbox results in both options being accepted, and the tour continuing properly.

Filip has explained the 'implicit' checkbox nicely, I know a little about the 'Options' field;

The 'Option' field takes JSON key/value pairs, for example you could set the width/height/url of the callout:

{"width":"450","height":"500","url":"/yourPortal?=your_index_page"}

Haven't really worked with the 'Link' field yet, but once I figure that one out will update this post.

Another key/value pair option I've found for guided tour steps

{"skippable":true} - if the target element isn't found on the page, simply move onto the next step.

And just to follow on from this, this particular option has now been embedded into the UI in Paris
