# How to Enable Journey View for a Pathway

* FAQs

## Overview
Journey View turns a Pathway into a visual, map-like journey rather than a plain list of steps — *"This setting will enable the ability for this pathway to view as a visual journey."* It's a more engaging way for learners to see where they are and what's next. You enable it, then style it to match your look.

## Turn on Journey View
1. Go to **Pathways** and open the Pathway.
2. In the pathway header, click the **Settings** (cog) icon to open the **Pathway settings** panel.
3. Scroll to **Journey Settings**.
4. Turn on **Allow Journey View**. The change saves automatically.

## Customise the Journey
With **Allow Journey View** on, a set of styling options appears:

1. **Orientation** — choose how the journey is laid out.
2. **Path Type** — choose the style of the path connecting steps.
3. **Background Colour** and **Text Colour** — pick colours for the journey.
4. **Background Image** — upload an image to sit behind the journey.

Each choice saves automatically as you make it.

> **Good to know:** When you first switch Journey View on, SuperPath applies sensible defaults (a vertical orientation and a line path type) so it looks right straight away. Adjust them to taste.

## Things to keep in mind
* Turning **Allow Journey View** off hides the styling options and returns learners to the standard step view.
* Orientation, path type, colours and background image only appear while Journey View is switched on.
* Journey View changes how the Pathway is presented; it doesn't change the steps or their order.

## FAQs
**What is Journey View?**
A visual, map-style way of presenting a Pathway's steps, instead of a plain list.

**Can I brand the Journey?**
Yes. You can set the orientation, path type, background and text colours, and a background image.

**Do the styling options appear before I enable it?**
No. They only show once **Allow Journey View** is turned on.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can enable and style Journey View. **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot change this setting.
