Default markup

Steps provide a clear visual representation of a user’s progress through a multi-step process. By showing what has been completed and what remains, steps enhance usability and encourage task completion.

To create a default progress tracker, use the .steps class and define each step as a .step-item. The active step clearly indicates the current position in the process.

<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>
</div>

The example below demonstrates a simple progress tracker with four steps, where the third step is active.

<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.

To add a tooltip, use the data-bs-toggle="tooltip" attribute and specify the tooltip content with the title attribute.

<a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 1 description">
  Step 1
</a>

The example below demonstrates a progress tracker with tooltips for each step.

<div class="steps">
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 1 description">
    Step 1
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 2 description">
    Step 2
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 3 description">
    Step 3
  </a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" 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 to see the range of available colors.

<div class="steps steps-green">
  ...
</div>

The example below demonstrates a progress tracker with two different color schemes.

<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.

<div class="steps">
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 1 description"></a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 2 description"></a>
  <a href="#" class="step-item active" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Step 3 description"></a>
  <span href="#" class="step-item" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" 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.

<div class="steps steps-counter">
  ...
</div>

The example below demonstrates a progress tracker with numbers and a different color scheme.

<div class="steps steps-counter">
  <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>
