Adding explanatory text before a step

Last Updated : Sep 02, 2020 |
You can add the stepsection element in the following situations:
  • To add a sequence of steps in a procedure. For example, Perform the next three steps only if you installed expansion pack A.
  • To provide some text before the user action that is not appropriate for the cmd element.
Use the stepsection element carefully and only as intended. Overuse of the element might impact the readability of your procedures.
