  <Step title="Select a data source">
    After a few seconds, the sidebar finishes loading and shows the **Start from Preset** screen with all available data sources. Click the platform you want to pull data from (e.g., **Google Analytics 4**).

  <Step title="Choose a preset template">
    Each template includes a name and short description. Click the one that matches the data you need.
