Journeys can have descriptions, tags, personas and comments
A journey contains any number of steps, which run horizontally from left to right under the journey card. Steps can also be single-clicked to open up a screen where additional details can be tracked.

- Right-click → Collapse Journey
- Or middle-click the journey
- Or press space bar when the journey is focused via the keyboard
