What are wizard steps?
Definition: A wizard is a step-by-step process that allows users to input information in a prescribed order and in which subsequent steps may depend on information entered in previous ones. Wizards usually involve multiple pages and are often (but not obligatorily) displayed in modal windows.
What are UI design patterns?
User interface (UI) design patterns are reusable/recurring components which designers use to solve common problems in user interface design. For example, the breadcrumbs design pattern lets users retrace their steps. Designers can apply them to a broad range of cases, but must adapt each to the specific context of use.
