+### Variable assignment with assign
+
+The assign step type allows you to initialize and assign values to variables that can be used in subsequent workflow steps. This step supports multiple data types including strings, integers, booleans, maps (objects), and lists (arrays).
+
+**Basic structure:**
+
+  ```yaml
+    - name: <step_name>
+      type: assign
+      inputs:
+        <variable_name>: <value_or_expression>
+  ```
+
+**Example:**
+
+  ```yaml
+    - name: variableInitialization
+      type: assign
+      inputs:
+        stringVar: "${{ .workflowInputs.initialValue }}"
