# Steps

**Steps** helps guide users through a process, one step at a time. It's perfect for things like forms, onboarding, or any task that involves multiple stages. Each step shows users where they are, what they've completed, and what’s next.

This makes complex tasks feel more manageable, giving users a clear sense of progress and direction. You can also add tooltips and status indicators to make the experience even more helpful.
