When we onboard new users or ship new features, how do we make sure that our audience knows what's in it and get them excited to use our apps? That's where an onboarding sequence comes into play. This React library guide offers an effective way to construct a smooth onboarding experience.

An example of steps

const steps = [
  {
    selector: '#search',
    title: 'Search',
    content: <div>You can now search for your customers using ID or name</div>,
    placement: 'bottom-left',

    }
  },
  {
    selector: () => {
        const tabs = Array.from(
