### 1. Comparison

**Compares data** which decides what information will be sent out next. 🎓 E.g. different content could be sent out dependent on player score.

### 2. Timer

**Creates** **a delay** before publication of the attached steps. Use the timer to publish other content outside the primary channel to create a sense of realism when an immediate reaction would seem unusual.

### 3. Erase all

**Deletes all messages** for player clicking the button. 🎓 E.g. use if a player doesn't get enough answers right on a quiz and needs to retake.
