Scenario Elements

There are three component types in the Scenario Editor:

Conversational - Components that provide user interaction functionality, such as Prompts and Statements.
Flow Control - Components that control the conversation logic, such as, multi-case switch statements.
Advanced Functionality - Components used for integration with external data resources and advanced services, such as Action scripting steps and LUIS.
