Hello Wolfgang,

That depends on what happens when you click:
- If it is possible to have open step x and x
+1 as page at the same time, it should be a link, because a link leads to another page.
- If it is a reload / reuse of the same page, it should be a button, because a button changes something on a page.


That's my 50 cents
