Pipeline "for each" loops

I must be missing a basic concept with Pipelines. My goal is to Search (retrieve) records from a table. Then for each record, do three steps in sequence. 1. Update a record 2. Call an API Webhook...

Are all 3 steps (B, C, & D) nested under step A?

If so, I agree that they should loop in order as you stated.

Can you post a pic of the high-level view (all steps collapsed) of the Pipeline?

    @Mark Shnier (YQC) I just ran a similar test in my app. Watching it run I saw it find the records then execute the update followed by the 2 webhook imports... for each record found in the loop (the desired action).
    
    HOWEVER, when I look a the activity after it runs it shows the steps in the order you stated. All of the updates first followed by the imports.
    
    What is your experience when viewing the pipeline run in real time?
