To create sequence views for use cases, model temporal flows and user interactions using plain arrows with actor-driven steps. This enforces a strict syntax with dynamic views, initiating external actors, and descriptive labels to produce readable diagrams.

Documenting temporal flows is best achieved by using plain arrows with descriptive step labels in a top-to-bottom sequence. This approach avoids overly complex parent-child relationships, ensuring your dynamic views remain compact and readable.

Structure dynamic views by placing them under a Use Cases folder with titles formatted as Use Cases / [WorkflowName]. You can then use actor-driven steps to illustrate asynchronous patterns and error handling from initiation to final processing.

LikeC4 supports compact sequence diagrams by modeling temporal flows with dynamic views and initiating external actors. This produces reusable sequence views that teams can consistently reference during software feature design reviews.

You should avoid parent-child relationships in sequence diagrams when documenting temporal flows with actor-driven steps. The strict syntax requires clear top-to-bottom sequencing and descriptive labels instead of complex relationship kinds.

You can use sequence views to document workflows like a user uploading a document and the system validating and storing it. The dynamic view models the temporal flow from the initiating actor through processing to storage.
