The first time you open MAM Suite, the Setup Wizard walks you through the core screens of your app — Home Screen, App Navigation, Colors and Branding, the App Previewer, and Next Steps. Finish it (or skip it) and the wizard steps out of the way so it stops interrupting your normal work.

But it’s never gone for good. You can bring the wizard back any time you like — to revisit a step, redo your setup from scratch, or walk a teammate through the flow. Here’s how to handle the three things admins ask for most: re-running the wizard, resetting it to start from step one, and dismissing its reminder notice for good.

Before you start

Good to know: The wizard is really just a guided front-end over the same App Setup screens you can reach directly. Opening it never wipes your configuration on its own — it simply walks you back through the same settings. Nothing about your app changes until you change something inside a step and save it.

Option 1 — Re-open the wizard where you left off

Started the wizard but didn’t finish? You can drop right back in at the step you last viewed — the wizard remembers your place as you go.

1. In WordPress admin, go to Mobile App Manager.
2. Open the wizard at its plain admin link (the Resume on the last step URL shown in Option 3 below). Without the restart flag, it takes you straight back to your saved step.
3. The wizard re-opens on that step.

Worth knowing: the Setup Wizard reminder notice on Mobile App Manager screens links back into the wizard, but its link restarts from step one rather than resuming (see Option 2). And once you’ve finished the wizard, the plain link stops re-opening it — you’ll need one of the restart methods below instead.

Option 2 — Restart the wizard from step one

Sometimes you want a clean run — for a demo, a fresh app, or just to redo your choices in order. Here’s how to restart the wizard from the very beginning.

The reliable way is to open the wizard with the restart flag (&resume=yes) on its URL. That always relaunches it from step one:

1. Go to Mobile App Manager.
2. Open the wizard’s restart URL — the &resume=yes variant shown in Option 3 below. If the Setup Wizard reminder notice is showing, its link already points at this same restart URL, so clicking it gets you the same result.
3. The wizard opens on its first step, Welcome to the App Setup Wizard, no matter where you left off before.

Note: The core App Setup Wizard is relaunched from its URL (or the reminder notice) — not from the Software page. The Software page Guide column relaunches the feature guides that other MAM Suite plugins ship (GeoDirectory, Special Offers, GeoFilters, Reviews, and the like), each from its own step one, and only for plugins that are installed, active, and register a guide.

What “restart” actually does

Relaunching the wizard this way clears two pieces of saved progress:

• the completion flag (whether the wizard is marked done), and
• the saved step (which step you were last on).

Clear both, and the wizard has no choice but to start over at step one. Rest easy, though — it does not reset the app settings you configured in earlier runs. Your Home Screen, navigation, and branding choices stay exactly as you last saved them until you change them again inside the wizard.

Option 3 — Re-open the wizard by URL

Prefer a direct link? Handy for bookmarks or support hand-offs, the wizard lives at a predictable admin URL, with two variants:

Resume on the last step:

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mam-setup-wizard&wizard=mam_main_welcome_onboarding

Restart from step one (adds &resume=yes, which clears the completion flag and the saved step):

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mam-setup-wizard&wizard=mam_main_welcome_onboarding&resume=yes

Here mam_main_welcome_onboarding identifies the core App Setup Wizard. Other MAM Suite plugins can ship their own guides under their own identifiers; those launch the same way, normally via the Software page Guide column rather than a hand-typed URL.

Tip: The Setup Wizard reminder notice link and the Software page’s feature-guide buttons both use this same &resume=yes flag behind the scenes — so however you get there, you land on the same clean restart from step one.

Dismiss the Setup Wizard reminder for good

Once you finish configuring your app, MAM Suite keeps a small reminder notice on the App Setup screen so first-time users don’t forget to complete setup. Done for good? You can turn it off.

The notice gives you two ways to dismiss it, and they don’t behave the same way:

• Click All Done when your app really is configured and you do not want any admin to keep seeing the prompt.
• Click the × if you personally want it gone but other admins should still be nudged to finish.

Dismissing the reminder only hides the prompt — it does not lock the wizard away. You can still re-open or restart it any time using the options above.

Verify it worked

• Re-opened correctly: The wizard loads in full-screen mode with the step bar across the top (Welcome → Home Screen → App Navigation → Colors and Branding → App Previewer → Next Steps). A clean restart lands you on Welcome; a resume lands you on your last step.
• Settings preserved: Step through to a screen you previously configured (for example, Colors and Branding) and confirm your saved values are still shown.
• Reminder dismissed: Return to any Mobile App Manager admin screen. After All Done, the reminder notice should no longer appear for any admin.

Need to step away before you’re done? Use the Dashboard link on the wizard screen — it takes you back to the admin without marking anything incomplete.

Troubleshooting

The wizard re-opens on the last step instead of step one.
That’s the plain resume link at work — the URL without the restart flag keeps your place. To force step one, add &resume=yes to the URL; it’s the same thing the reminder-notice link does under the hood.

There’s no Guide button for the plugin I want.
The Guide column only shows a button for plugins that are installed, active, and register a guide, so start by confirming the plugin is active. And keep in mind the core App Setup Wizard isn’t listed there at all — relaunch it from its &resume=yes URL or the reminder notice instead.

The reminder notice keeps coming back for me.
The × dismiss only sticks for your own account, not everyone’s. If you want it gone site-wide for good, use the All Done button instead.

I restarted the wizard and worry I lost my app settings.
No need to worry — restarting only clears the wizard’s progress markers (completion flag and saved step), never your saved app configuration. Open the App Settings page directly to confirm your settings are right where you left them.

Verification

This article was last verified against:

• mam-main/includes/setup-wizard/setup-wizard.php — wizard controller; resume=yes deletes mam_setup_wizard_{slug} and mam_wizard_{slug}_step; Dashboard/skip behaviour; return-page handling.
• mam-main/includes/setup-wizard/welcome-onboarding.php — core wizard class mam_main_welcome_onboarding, slug local_app_setup, step list, reminder notice (its link carries resume=yes, so it restarts from step one), and “All Done” / per-user dismiss (mam_main_setup_wizard_dismissed option and mam_main_setup_wizard_dismissed user meta).
• mam-main/includes/grid-classes/software-grid.php — Software page Guide column, mam_plugin_guides filter, and the resume=yes relaunch URL (feature guides only; the core App Setup Wizard is not registered in this column).

Re-verify whenever the wizard step list, the resume/reset request handling, the Guide-column launch URL, or the reminder-dismiss options change.
