To allow the second and third steps in a Mixpanel funnel to be completed in any order after the first step, you need to use the "Any Order" option in your funnel configuration. Here's how to set it up: 1. Create your funnel with all the steps you want to track 2. Expand the "Advanced" menu in the Conversion Criteria section 3. Toggle on "Any Order" 4. Anchor your first step by clicking on it and setting it as step 1 5. Leave the second and third steps unanchored (they will appear with an asterisk )When you set up your funnel this way, users must complete the first step first, but can complete the second and third steps in any order after that.As explained in the documentation: > When you switch to you have the option to anchor specific steps in your funnel by clicking on the step number. A step will either appear with a number beside it, indicating where it must fall in the funnel, or with an asterisk (), indicating that it can be performed in any order before the next anchored step.Funnels Advanced ConceptsWith this configuration, you can also view a Sankey visualization of how users are moving through your funnel by selecting "Top paths" from the drop-down visualization list.This approach is particularly useful for scenarios where certain actions need to happen in a specific sequence (like your first step), but other actions can be completed in any order (your second and third steps).
