What does the stage stepper show?
The clickable stage tracker sits below the header, showing the case's progression through all 6 stages.
Case lifecycle: each stage, its status, and the button that moves the case forward, closes, cancels or reopens it.
The stepper numbers the stages 1 to 6 on screen; this guide counts them from 0 (Informal Coaching) to 5 (Closed).
