## Create a funnel

Open **Funnels** and start a new funnel. Give it a name such as `Sign-up flow`, then add the ordered steps a user passes through.
## Define the steps

A funnel needs at least **two** URL patterns, entered in order. Each step accepts three pattern styles:

- **Exact path** — `/checkout` matches only that path.
- **Prefix wildcard** — `/products/*` matches any path that starts with `/products/`.
- **Regex** — wrap an expression in slashes, e.g. `/products/\d+/`, to match by pattern.

You can give each step an optional label to make the chart easier to read. Click **Add Step** for more steps, then **Create Funnel**.
## Read the results

The funnel detail view shows the number of sessions that reached each step and the **drop-off percentage** between steps. A session only counts toward a later step if it also matched every step before it, so the funnel reflects ordered progression rather than raw page visits.
## Recompute and manage

Results are cached after the first calculation. To refresh them against the latest sessions, click **Recompute** on the funnel detail page. To remove a funnel you no longer need, use **Delete**. Deleted (erased) sessions are excluded from funnel counts automatically.
