A Powerful Update for our Steps Cards: More Prefixes, More Control, More You
Just a few weeks ago, we introduced a whole new set of Card templates in Optics: Numbers, Steps, and Text. One format in particular sparked a lot of excitement: Steps Cards.
You loved the smart logic — the way each step is automatically numbered as you go. Add a card? It becomes Step 2. Remove one? Everything updates. No manual edits. That small-but-mighty feature made Steps an instant favorite. The feedback from you — our customers and partners — was overwhelming but it also came with one clear message:
“We love the Steps Cards. But we want more.”
Well… we got you. Today, we’re rolling out powerful new formatting options for Steps Cards — giving you even more flexibility to tailor flows, guides, and processes to your team’s unique style. Let’s break it down.
What's New (and Awesome)
You now have even more control over how your Steps appear — without adding complexity.

🏷️ Add prefixes with personality
Predefined Prefixes like Day, Step, Sprint, Quarter, and more
Custom Prefixes — type anything you want in any language (like “Phase” or “Lesson”)

🧮 Count it your way
Flexible Formats — choose from numbers (1, 01) or letters (A, B, C)

🔢 Start from anywhere
Logical Sequences — start at any number or letter, and the system picks up the pattern
