This node cannot be added inside control nodes (decision, loop, parallel, if).

When the process starts all steps will be displayed at the top of the process page.

On the screenshot, we can see all three possible states of the step -

  1. When the first step is done the tab becomes blue. The step is completed when the next step node is reached or when the whole process is finished.

2. The 'prepare the invoice' step is still active, which means that the node of the step was executed but the next step node was not yet reached. The tab has a blue outline when it`s active.

3. The 'Send invoice to the customer' step is not still started that`s why the tab is gray.

If the process is failed or is canceled, the state of the steps will remain unchanged.
