NOTE

The last step cannot be deleted, you must first reorder the steps.

Reorder Steps

Any step can be dragged and dropped anywhere within the step menu from within the app editor. Steps can be dragged in and out of step groups to further organize your applications.

Warn

By default, the Next button will move to the preceding step in the app step menu, so reordering steps might impact your app functionality.

How to Group Steps

Step Groups help organize the content of your applications. Step groups can be created, and then steps can be added to them. See details on that process here.. Alternatly, steps can be selected and can be grouped directly from the right click menu.

  1. Select the steps you would like to group by holding CTRL/CMD and selecting each step.
    Select Steps

  2. Right click, and select "Group Steps"
