User Flow?
A user flow is a visual representation of how the user moves through a website or application and shows what happens at each step along the way. These steps are called user flows because they reflect the path a user takes while navigating a website or app.
A user flow indicates what happens at each step in a user’s journey and it helps designers to know where people get confused and also what they need to change to make their experience smoother and easier.
