## Introduction

Creates a step.

Specify the parent section in `step.sectionId`.
The service derives the parent program automatically.
To create a quiz step, create or clone the quiz separately, then specify its ID in `step.quizOptions.id`.

To create multiple steps in a single API call, call [BulkCreateSteps](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/online-programs/steps/bulk-create-steps.md).

### Examples

### Create an article step
```javascript
import { steps } from "@wix/online-programs";

const createdStep = await steps.createStep({
  sectionId: "b142d26b-2c56-4b85-9f8d-6bea0920eb4d",
  description: {
    title: "Welcome to week 1",
    details: "Review the weekly plan and complete the first assignment.",
  },
  stepType: "ARTICLE",
});

```

### createStep (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { steps } from '@wix/online-programs';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { steps },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function createStep(step) {
  const response = await myWixClient.steps.createStep(step);
};
```
