When to use it
Use for one straight sequence of three to eight steps where some steps need a side remark, such as a setup guide with tips, an onboarding flow with warnings, a data migration with caveats, or a release checklist with reminders. Not for flows that branch or loop, swimlanes, timelines, hierarchies, or comparisons.
