Appearance and popups

Choose popup hover or background actions

For editors Updated 28 September 2026

Where

Points then On click and Destination

Decide what happens when a visitor interacts with a point or shape.

Steps

  1. Find the record in Points and open On click.
  2. Choose Show Popup, Hover Popup, Open background or None. Hover Popup shows a compact name and description card; None disables the record action.
  3. For Open background, choose the Destination background.
  4. For a popup, review the record’s details, images and buttons.
  5. Preview the behaviour and test any destination before sharing.

Expected result

Visitors get the selected action from the published record’s placement.

Tips and limits

Hover cards are compact and use eased appearance and disappearance. A hover-only experience should be checked on touch devices before launch. Popup buttons require Show Popup. Multiple destination backgrounds need Pro. After deleting a background, update links pointing to it.

Effect on the published viewer

These are record-value changes and can affect existing published placements immediately. New destination layouts must be published.
