The Pages tour shows you how each kind of page is made, on your own page. There is one tour for each kind: wireframes, logos and photos. It works on the real editor rather than screenshots, and it opens the real controls for you: the Layout and Background popovers, the page's settings, the Slide Deck. Anything you pick while a step is open is kept. It takes under a minute, and you can leave at any point.
When It's Offered
The first time you work on a page of a kind (Working with Pages) on a tab you can edit, a banner at the bottom of the screen asks whether you'd like a look (Getting started with Wireframes?, for a wireframe page): Yes starts it, No dismisses it. If several kinds are on screen, it runs on the page you can see most of. Open a tab of another kind later and that kind's tour is offered then.
It waits while Start Making Pages is open and while a new tab's first page asks What Is This Page For?. It isn't offered on a locked tab or page, in an embed, or to someone who can only view or take part.
Each kind's tour is offered once ever. However you answer (decline, skip midway, or finish), it won't come back on its own for that kind, and if you're signed in the answer follows you to every device. Turning on Power User Mode in Settings marks them all as seen. If you answered the single Pages tour before it had one tour per kind, each kind's tour is offered to you once more.
What Each Tour Covers
Wireframes: the page's name, Start From a Layout, Change the Background, Device (the page's settings), Add a Page and Present It (every page is in the deck). See Wireframe Pages.
Logos: the logo layouts, guides, mirror drawing and combining shapes, as the logo page's Show Me runs them. See Logo Pages.
Photos: the photo tools along the palette, the page's menus and the Photo panel with its layers. See Photo Pages.
A step whose control isn't on screen when the tour starts (the Slide Deck on a phone, say) is left out, so the count stays honest. Each step has Next, Back and Skip tour; leaving a step closes whatever it opened. If you switch tab, or delete or lock the page mid-tour, it ends as skipped.
Show Me on Any Page
Every page's settings (its cog) carry Show Me at the top, which runs that page's tour there and then, whenever you like, without the welcome banner.
Replaying the Tour
Switch the tour for the kind of page back on: Wireframe Tour, Logo Tour or Photo Tour, or Pages Tours for all of them.
Close Settings. If that kind of page is on screen, its tour shows straight away; otherwise it's offered the next time you work on one.
