I'll fix that up, thx.

I thought about that, but I like the wizard form of having a guided "next"
and (here still missing) final summary and confirmation page for some flows.
And I really see no essential clash with having all steps available with the
guided wizard approach itself in general, i.e. not a must, but can be totally
fine; this allows power users some more flexibility while guiding less
experienced users better.

But I agree that this needs some special care, the UI/UX polishing for this
can make the difference between a great feature or confusion, so I'd like to
flesh out and validate what I have in mind a bit more in-depth before doing
anything here.
