Substeps

Substeps let you organize your guide into a nested hierarchy. A step can contain child steps (substeps) beneath it, which is useful for grouping related actions together or creating multi image steps.

Creating substeps

There are two ways to create substeps:

Drag and drop

Drag a step in the steps list and drop it below another step with a slight indent. The dropped step becomes a substep of the one above it.

Right-click > Change parent step

1. Select one or more steps in the steps list (use Ctrl/Cmd+click for multiple)
2. Right-click and choose Change parent step
3. In the modal, select the new parent step (or "Root" to move back to the top level)
4. Click Change parent

This is the easiest way to move multiple steps at once.

Collapsing substeps

Parent steps with children show a collapse/expand toggle. Click it to hide or reveal the substeps in the list. You can also right-click a parent step and select Collapse/Expand nested steps.

Substeps in export

By default, substeps are exported as individual steps in the output. If you want substeps to appear as additional images within the parent step, enable the Multi Image Step option in Step Settings.
