Wireflow organization

The classic use case for wireflows is documenting a user's journey through a common task, like adding a song to a playlist or completing a purchase. Organization matters because clear wireflows communicate effectively while messy ones create confusion. Arrows connect specific UI components users interact with, such as buttons or links, to wireframes showing the result of that interaction. Wireframes in the flow don't need to show separate pages. Often the page stays the same but content changes, reflecting feedback like a checked box or pop-up menu.

For complex desktop and web apps, you don't need full-screen wireframes for each step. Creating wireframes for just the portion of the screen that changes provides enough context while keeping the diagram manageable.
