                  Flows are a series of steps designed to guide your users through your application. Flows can be used to onboard, engage and convert users, drive feature adoption, collect feedback and reduce support.

                  Here's what a Flow looks like:

                  Flows are made up of steps, and each step is one of our four pattern types: Modals, Slideouts, Hotspots, and Tooltips. Inside the step are components, like text, images/GIFs, buttons, videos, emojis, forms and surveys, or HTML.

                  Flows can span multiple pages across your site, which means, for instance, that you can lead users from the dashboard to a settings page. For more about flows that span pages, check out our documentation: Build a Flow Across Pages
