Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a how-to infographic template?

Yes — the /templates/how-it-works template comes with a pre-built step-by-step layout using the Timeline widget, a subtitle, and a CTA. Swap in your own steps and content.

Should I use a timeline or process steps widget?

Use Process Steps for simple sequential steps (3-8 steps). Use Timeline for chronological events with dates. Use Flowchart at /tools/flowchart-maker if your process includes decision branches.

How many steps should my how-to infographic have?

3 to 8 steps is ideal. Fewer than 3 feels thin; more than 8 overwhelms. If you have more steps, group them into phases and use section headings.

Can I add a flowchart to my how-to?

Yes — combine Process Steps with a Flowchart widget for processes that include decision points. See /blog/how-to-make-flowchart for tips on when to use each format.
