7- when it shows # quantity selected THEN 3dot again and click on "move and connect photos"
8- you will now see Gray dots with ALL your images.
NOW THE SICK FUN.

+- move the dots around and place them according to your memory of the shoot!
+- To CONNECT 1st image to 2nd image in the visual tour; CLICK on the light gray line until DARK gray.
+- when it is dark gray- it IS CONNECTED. 
+- The red 1/2 sphere is where the viewer is looking at!!!
+- Move the compass on bottom to change direction so it makes sense in tour.
+- move the dots to change the view also.
BE CAREFUL MOVING DOTS AND COMPASS CAN CHANGE MUCH.

9- When READY to SEE what you created- ( as you will have NO IDEA at 1st) click the Check mark at top to save/publish.
10- Go to computer or on your device click on an image that IS CONNECTED and see if arrows APPEAR and IF they make sense!!!!
OMG!!!

TO continue the nightmare and continue connecting dots: go to step 4 above;
DO NOT FORGET TO SCROLL ALL IMAGES on screen so ALL are able to be selected!!! or not all will appear as dots!!!
you do this from memory!!!! of the shoot!! hence why you may shoot a video to remind yourself.
Hence why impossible without shooting it!!!
worse part: you can only see a SMALL SLIVER of the image on bottom next to compass!!! joke!
