# Progressive Groups

> Use Progressive Groups to create flexible in-app flows that let users navigate steps freely, skip sections, and continue at their own pace.

## Overview

**Userpilot Progressive Groups** let you structure **in-app experiences** to give users more **control** over their **navigation**. Instead of a **linear flow** with a strict sequence, **progressive groups** allow users to **move back and forth** between steps, **skip sections**, or **dismiss** parts of the flow while continuing with the rest. This feature enhances **flexibility** for **onboarding**, **feature adoption**, and **guided walkthroughs**.

## Use Cases

* **Flexible onboarding**: Allow users to navigate back and forth through tutorial steps.
* **Multi-step guidance**: Break down complex processes into step-by-step groups that users can navigate freely.
* **Progress tracking**: Use progress indicators (bars or balls) to guide users through a structured yet flexible flow.
* **Dismiss and continue**: Enable users to skip a group but still complete the remaining steps of the flow.

## Adding a Progressive Group

<Note>
  In order for steps to be grouped, they must have the same UI pattern (e.g., all modals or all tooltips).
</Note>

1. **Navigate to flows**: In the Userpilot dashboard, go to the flow editor.
2. **Create a new step**: Add a step to your flow.
3. **Group steps together**: You can create a group by either: 1. Dragging and dropping a step next to the desired step to form a group. 2. Clicking the plus sign next to a step and selecting "To Group" to add it to an existing group.
4. **Choose navigation type**:
   * **Progress bar**: Adds "Next" and "Previous" buttons for easier navigation.
   * **Balls progress**: Allows users to manually proceed with a custom button.
5. **Customize Dismissal Options**: Configure whether users can exit a group and continue the rest of the flow.

### Editing Group Settings

* **Step consistency**: All steps within a group share the same UI pattern (e.g., modals, tooltips, slideouts).
* **Progress indicators**: Enable or disable navigation elements like progress bars.
* **Customization**: Apply group-wide styling, positioning, and behavior settings.

<Warning>
  Any changes applied to a step within a group (such as enabling or disabling features) will automatically apply to all other steps in the same group.
