    Options Description
    Journey Steps Journey steps are important steps in a customer's journey to achieve a specific goal. Metrics can be tied to a journey step to measure its performance.
    Decision Nodes Decision nodes are visual and navigational indicators. As they are just decisions, they don't have metrics associated with them. They are usually questions that have branching paths into journey steps. For example, a decision node can be the question "Do you have a referral?" and it can branch into "Yes" and "No" responses.
    Arrows Arrows can be used as navigation or flow from one step to the next.

    Click on the Arrow button next to either a journey step or a decision node and drag it to the next option.
