        _tutorial.OnPrevious += OnPrevious;
        
        ShowPage(0);

        _tutorial.SetEnabledPrevious(index > 0);
        _tutorial.SetEnabledNext(index < _pages.Count - 1);
    }

    private void OnNext()

        public string Title;
        public string Subtitle;
        public string Text;
        public Sprite Image;
    }
}

Input Actions

The tutorial uses InputPrompt for navigation buttons, which automatically display the correct input icons based on the current device.

Configure the input action names in the InputPrompt components:

ContinueButton - Next step action
PreviousButton - Previous step action

Built-in Behaviors

Escape: Esc handling is owned by InputEscapeManager via the nav back stack — popping the view runs the same disable-buttons + fade-out path as the in-UI return button
Return Buttons: All buttons named "ReturnButton" are wired to ReturnClicked()
Close: ReturnClicked() calls LunaNavigation.PopBackStack(), which fades the view out

Tips

Update the subtitle to show progress (e.g., "Step 1 of 5")
Disable navigation buttons at boundaries to prevent confusion
Use text effects to highlight important words in tutorial text
Images help illustrate complex concepts visually
