    There is a vertical milestone component as a solution to what you need. Check this out:

    Appian interfaces are flexible enough to allow you to built this yourself. Get inspiration from the OOTB patterns and give it a try.

      Yes, Appian provides several UI components that can be combined to create a similar experience. You may want to look into using a combination of Section Layouts, Card Layouts, Rich Text Display Fields, and Collapsible Sections to mimic the expandable/collapsible navigation shown in the screenshot. For the step-by-step progress view, a custom implementation using cards, icons, and conditional formatting can work quite well. While there may not be an out-of-the-box control that exactly matches this design, Appian's interface components are flexible enough to build a very similar workflow tracker. It would be helpful to know your Appian version and whether you need the control for navigation, process tracking, or both.
