# Step Help

## Overview

Steps configured with Step Help contain general information such as any expected **Input**(s) and **Output**(s) along with their corresponding **Data Types** (denoted by gray parenthetical text). Additional information may include a brief summary and/or a correlating **Documentation** link.

## Accessing Step Help

To access **Step Help** for a particular **Step**:

1. From the **Flow Designer**, navigate to the **Toolbox** tab.
2. Hover over the desired Step.
3. Select the information icon.
4. View the information for the Step, and if desired, navigate to relevant **Documentation** by selecting the **View Documentation For This Step** link.  
  
**Note**: In v9.15, the step location under the step name is now a navigable link, taking the user to the respective location in the toolbox.

## Step Help directly on the Steps

In v9.11, an info icon was introduced beneath steps on the designer canvas. This icon provides access to the same step-help details along with additional information.

Clicking the icon opens a panel that displays comprehensive step details, including its toolbox location, description, and a link to its documentation. If the step uses another designer entity as a child, the panel also shows the child Entity’s name, folder path, description, and a preview image of the underlying designer entity.
