Nothing checked off yet
First visit? Here's how the map works.1
Steps run in order. A dashed step is blocked: something before it has to be finished first.
2
Check a step off when it's done. Whatever it was blocking unlocks by itself.
3
Some steps are IRCC's to make, not yours. Those show as waiting and can't be checked off.

The rest of the pathway, folded up
This view fits the whole pathway on one screen: the step you're on is enlarged, its neighbours are shown small, and everything further out is folded into a summary bar you can open. The idea is borrowed from degree-of-interest trees (Card and Nation, 2002).
