 <a name="stepOperationId"></a>operationId | `string` | The name of an existing, resolvable operation, as defined with a unique `operationId` and existing within one of the `sourceDescriptions`. The referenced operation will be invoked by this workflow step. If multiple (non `workflowsSpec` type) `sourceDescriptions` are defined, then the `operationId` MUST be specified using a [runtime expression](#runtime-expressions) (e.g., `$sourceDescriptions.<name>.<operationId>`) to avoid ambiguity or potential clashes. This field is mutually exclusive of the `operationRef` and `workflowId` fields respectively.
 <a name="stepOperationRef"></a>operationRef | `string` | A relative or absolute URI reference to an OAS operation. This field is mutually exclusive of the `operationId` and `workflowId` fields respectively. A complete [URI Template](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6570) SHOULD be used. The operation being referenced MUST be described within one of the `source` descriptions.
 <a name="stepWorkflowId"></a>workflowId | `string` | The [workflowId](#fixed-fields-2) referencing an existing workflow within the Workflows Description. If multiple `workflowsSpec` type `sourceDescriptions` are defined, then the `workflowId` MUST be specified using a [runtime expression](#runtime-expressions) (e.g., `$sourceDescriptions.<name>.<workflowId>`) to avoid ambiguity or potential clashes. The field is mutually exclusive of the `operationId` and `operationRef` fields respectively.

This helps to ensure workflow steps are executed in the correct order and that dependent steps are not processed in parallel. The values provided MUST be the be the `stepId` which uniquely references a step.
 <a name="stepSuccessCriteria"></a>successCriteria | [[Criterion Object](#criterion-object)] | A list of assertions to determine the success of the step. Each assertion is described using a [Criterion Object](#criterion-object). All assertions `MUST` be satisfied for the step to be deemed successful.
 <a name="stepOnSuccess"></a>onSuccess | [[Success Action Object](#success-action-object)] | An array of success action objects that specify what to do upon step success. If omitted, the next sequential step shall be executed as the default behavior. If multiple success actions have similar `criteria`, the first sequential action matching the criteria SHALL be the action executed.

 Holds a set of reusable objects for different aspects of the Workflows Specification. All objects defined within the components object will have no effect on the workflow unless they are explicitly referenced from properties outside the components object.
 
+Components are scoped to the Workflows document they are defined in. For example, if a step defined in Workflows document "A" references a workflow defined in Workflows document "B", the components in "A" are not considered when evaluating the workflow referenced in "B".
