walk-through

Step-by-step guide

A walk-through is a step-by-step guide or rehearsal.

In gaming, it's detailed instructions for completing a game: I had to consult a walk-through to beat the final boss.

In theater and film, it's an early rehearsal where actors move through scenes without full performance.

In real estate or construction, it's an inspection where you physically move through a space: We did a final walk-through before closing on the house.

The verb phrase is two words: Let me walk through the process.
