    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

    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"
