Implement non-linear transitions between steps. This is one of the key goals
of the planned update to the API.
The idea is that each step has a callback function which decides which step to
proceed to. This callback is called when an event occurs, such certain
mw.hook, a user-provided event (there will be a way to tell the tour to check
at a particular time), or a page change.
There can also be global transitions, which apply throughout the whole tour
(for example, clicking "edit source" at any time may transition to the first
step of the wikitext editing flow).
Simple use case:
Have a single tour with the basics of both wikitext and VisualEditor editing.
When you click "edit source" or "edit beta" at any time (unlike today, you
don't have to be at the beginning), it transitions to the appropriate step.
You can then walk through the basic flows of the editors (as today)
More elaborate:
Your are in a detailed tour for VisualEditor. You are in the step for the
references dialog. You click the template button, and it transitions to the
step for adding a template. When you walk through and save that, it
transitions to a step for saving the reference.
