How to draw an Alternate flow before/after a branching step

Overview

An Alternate flow describes a scenario that deviates from the basic Use Case Flow, where the end result completes successfully or fails to complete based on the steps taken in the flow. It can be drawn either before or after a linked step (branching step). By default, it will appear before a linked step.

This article describes the procedure to specify custom settings to draw an Alternate flow before/after a branching step.
