Create an Onboarding Flow

A multi-step first-run experience that saves progress and can be resumed.

When to use it

Activation

Lovable Prompt

Create an onboarding flow for new users.

Steps: [LIST YOUR STEPS].

Requirements:
- Save progress after each step so a user who leaves can resume where they stopped.
- Show a progress indicator.
- Allow skipping optional steps, and record which were skipped.
- Mark onboarding as complete on the user record, and never show it again once complete.
- Redirect users with incomplete onboarding back into the flow after sign-in.
- Handle the case where a user refreshes mid-step.

Keep each step to one decision or one input group. Do not build a single long form.

1 field still empty — the prompt works better when they're filled in.

How to use this prompt

Fill in the fields above — plain language beats jargon.
Copy the prompt and paste it into Lovable as a single message.
Let it finish before you send anything else, then read what changed.
If the result is close but not right, describe the difference rather than restating the whole prompt.

Suggested follow-up prompt

Review what you just built for Create an Onboarding Flow.

1. List anything you changed that I did not ask for, and undo it.
2. Check it works on a 375px-wide phone screen: no horizontal scrolling, tap targets at least 44px.
3. Confirm every form shows a clear error and a clear success state.
4. Tell me in plain language what is still missing before this is safe to publish.

Do not add new features in this step.

Why it works

Requiring saved progress and resume behaviour is what separates real onboarding from a multi-step form.
