-First, here's an example of a source file:
+1. Using the [`stories`](./main-config-stories.md) configuration, Storybook finds all files that match the [`test`](#test) property of your indexer
+2. Storybook passes each matching file to your indexer
+3. Your indexer returns all index entries for the file
+4. In the Storybook UI, a user navigates to a URL matching the story id and the browser requests the CSF file specified by the [`importPath`](#importpath) property of the index entry
+5. Back on the server, your builder plugin transpiles the source file to CSF
+6. That transpiled CSF file is then served to the browser
+7. The Storybook UI reads the CSF file, imports the story specified by [`exportName`](#exportname), and renders it
+
+Let's look at an example of how this might work.
