## Description

bootstrap-tour is a product tour library designed to create guided walkthroughs for websites using the Bootstrap framework. It functions as an interactive UI tool that uses a sequence of popover hints to highlight specific page elements and lead users through a workflow.

The system coordinates guided experiences across multiple pages by mapping tour steps to unique URLs. It maintains user progress through local storage persistence, ensuring tours resume at the correct step after a page refresh.

The library includes programmatic controls to start, pause, resume, or skip steps, and supports automatic timer-based transitions to advance the sequence without manual interaction. Visual guidance is provided through a dark backdrop overlay that isolates target elements from the rest of the page content.
