# Step information

The Step Information feature allows you to add additional context like titles, descriptions, and external links to individual steps in your guideflow without cluttering the main Call-to-Action text.

### When to use Step Information

Step Information is ideal when you need to:

* Provide additional context about a specific step
* Add explanatory text that doesn't belong in the Call-to-Action
* Include reference links to documentation, Google Drive, or other resources
* Give descriptive titles to steps for better navigation and organization

The published Step Information will appear beneath your demo on public Guideflow links.
{% endhint %}

### How to add Step Information to your guideflow

**In the Editor:**

1. Open your guideflow in the editor
2. Navigate to the step where you want to add information
3. Look for "Step Information" in the right-hand menu
4. Click on "Step Information" to open the panel

**Available options:**

* **Step Title**: Give your step a descriptive name for better orientation and navigation
* **Description**: Add detailed context, explanations, or instructions that supplement the main demo step
* **URL Links**: Include links to external resources like websites, documentation, Google Drive files, or others
* **Autoplay**: Auto advance the step forward without clicking on Call-to-Actions (go to [Browser](/help/edit-your-guideflow/browser.md)if you need to set Autoplay to the entire guideflow at once

### Best practices

* Keep step titles concise but descriptive
* Use descriptions to provide context that would be too lengthy for the main Call-to-Action
* Include relevant URLs that help users understand the step better or provide additional resources
* Consider your audience when deciding what information to include in Step Information versus the main content in Call-to-Actions inside the demo

### Example use cases

* **Software tutorials**: Link to official documentation or help pages
* **Process walkthroughs**: Provide background information about why a step is necessary
* **Training materials**: Include reference materials or additional reading
* **Complex workflows**: Break down complicated steps with detailed explanations
