# shops.setVisitSteps

Replace the shop's guided visit steps: add, remove, rename or reorder by sending the full list. Keep a step's key to keep its state on visits already going. Owner or office only. Send reset true to go back to the eight defaults.

## When to use it

Use these when a worker is heading to, standing at, or just leaving a visit. Everything happens in conversation with the worker: there are no buttons for them to tap and no app to open.

## What to tell the owner

Say what you did in plain words and what happens next.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `shop_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
| `reset` | boolean | no |
| `steps` | array | no |
| `steps[].key` | string | no |
| `steps[].label` | string | yes |
| `steps[].op` | string | no |
