Make sure you want to remove a step before confirming. There’s no undo for this action.
If your guide only has one step, you won’t see the delete button. Add another step first if you want to delete the existing one.
Step best practices
Use verbs that tell readers what to do.
Aim for 1-3 sentences per step. If you need more, consider splitting into multiple steps.
Pick a formatting style and stick with it throughout your guide. Consistency makes guides easier to follow.
Each step should focus on a single action or concept. This keeps readers from feeling overwhelmed.
