Shared Steps
Shared Steps are steps that are shared between multiple tests within a certain Project. Some of the step types are shared steps by default (i.e. you will not need to configure them as shared steps). The shared steps will be available for other users creating other tests.
The following tables list which predefined steps are shareable without the need to group them with other steps:
