# Skip Steps from the Path

Have your learners ever moved past an optional Step without skipping it? Their Path wouldn't show as complete until they went back to find it.

Now optional Steps show a clear **Skip** button right in the Path, so learners can skip them with one tap. Inside a Step, the completion area uses the same "Skip" wording.

We also smoothed out moving from one Lesson to the next. When a learner finishes a Lesson, the next one opens automatically, so upcoming Steps (and any options to skip them) are easy to see. And Path cards on Home now show your progress at a glance: click **Start** or **Resume** to go straight to your next Step.
