## Default markup

Steps show users where they are within a process, what steps they have already completed and what they are expected to complete. Making multi-step processes more user-friendly facilitates users' interaction with your interface.

Use the `steps` class to create the default progress tracker and name the steps accordingly.

```html code example
<div class="steps">
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 1
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 2
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active">
    Step 3
  </a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 4
  </span>
</div>
```

## Tooltips

Add tooltips, if you want to provide users with additional information about the steps they are expected to complete. Tooltips are displayed when a user hovers over a given step and help clarify what might not be clear from the interface.

```html code example
<div class="steps">
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 1 description">
    Step 1
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 2 description">
    Step 2
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 3 description">
    Step 3
  </a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 4 description">
    Step 4
  </span>
</div>
```

## Color

You can customize the default progress indicator by changing the color to one that better suits your design. Click [here](colors) to see the range of available colors.

```html code example
<div class="steps steps-green">
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 1
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 2
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active">
    Step 3
  </a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 4
  </span>
</div>
<div class="steps steps-red">
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 1
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 2
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active">
    Step 3
  </a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item">
    Step 4
  </span>
</div>
```

## Steps without title

For designs with limited space, use progress indicators without titles and add tooltips to provide the necessary details.

```html code example
<div class="steps">
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 1 description"></a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 2 description"></a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 3 description"></a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Step 4 description"></span>
</div>
```

## Steps with numbers

Use the `steps-counter` class to create a progress tracker with numbers instead of titles and change the color to customize it.

```html code example
<div class="steps steps-counter steps-lime">
  <a href="#" class="step-item"></a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active"></a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item"></span>
  <span href="#" class="step-item"></span>
  <span href="#" class="step-item"></span>
</div>
```
