Order of Steps and Conditions

If the order of conditions is important, then you should add each condition as a separate step. For example, if you want a user from the Content Authors User Group to approve your changes before a System Administrator, then this needs to be two steps within the Workflow Stream. If you do not mind which user approves the changes first, then you can add a step with two conditions.
