# steps

The `steps` field is an ordered array of step objects. Atmos executes the steps in the order they appear.

```yaml
workflows:
  deploy:
    steps:
      - name: plan
        type: atmos
        command: terraform plan vpc
      - name: apply
        type: atmos
        command: terraform apply vpc -auto-approve
```

The array item is the [step](/workflows/steps/step). The `type` field selects step behavior. Fields such as `title`, `columns`, `prompt`, `retry`, and `timeout` are parameters on that same step object; they are not separate steps.

```yaml
steps:
  - name: building
    type: spin
    title: Building application
    command: npm run build
    timeout: 60s
```

In this example, `spin` is the value of `steps[].type`. The fields `title`, `command`, and `timeout` configure that `spin` step.
