LAYOUT Step by step blocks for Breakdance

Show a process as clear numbered steps

Step Block shows one step of a process with an icon, a number badge, a heading and some text. Place a few side by side and arrows link each step to the next. It is a quick way to explain how something works.

Tips & FAQ

Good to know

How many steps can I have?

As many as you like. Each step is its own element, so add one for every step.

How do I remove the arrow after the last step?

Select the last Step Block and turn on Hide Arrow.

What happens on mobile?

The arrows are hidden below 933px wide. Set your grid to stack the steps and they read top to bottom.

How much space do the arrows need?

The arrow reaches about 60px past the right edge of the block, so leave a gap of 60 to 70px between steps in a row.

Can I use square or outlined icons?

Yes. Change the icon border radius for squares, as in the hiring demo, or give the icon a border and a transparent background, as in the hotel demo.

Can I hide the number badge?

Yes. Turn off Add badge, as in the hiring demo above.
