You can replace the steps of another activity with procedure activity steps. As a result, the existing activity steps are deleted and replaced with the selected procedure activity steps. A common scenario is that you replace the steps of the sub activity that is linked to the selected procedure activity steps.
You can not replace steps of activities with:

  • Status Completed.
  • A task recording.
