Collectors

Hey guys , how u doin. dont have a code issue , more of a question ( not looking for an answer in code , just some guide or link of how i can solve my problems ). So some context about what im doin. I got collectors in my code that after user execute a command bot dm the user and ask the user for some info , which i gather them with Collectors. so each collector represent a step in my process. What i was wondering was , is there a way to repeat a collector or get back in code somehow?. This is my code ====> https://pastebin.com/cv7xrAUK for each embed that im asking for smth im gonna add a BACK button ( starting from step two ). and i want that back button to be like going 1 step back in the process. so if its on the step which is asking for Description , and user press back button it goes to Title step which is the collector before description. I also wanna add a skip button which user click it end that specific collector and get to next step , which i guess if i find a way to do the Back button i can make the other one easily. again , im not looking for an exact code reply , just some guide on how i can achieve this thanks in advance.

What I like to do is use promise based collector in a function that recursively calls itself after completion of each step. Tracking what step the user is on (index) and having the data in an array to get the question for that index (step). You minus/add the index in case of skip/prev, so something like this

const data =[....];
async function something(index = 0) {
const d = data[index];
if (!d) return;
const int = await <Message>.awaitMessageComponents({....});

// do whatever you want to do with that, and if it passess
return something(index++)
// or subtract depending on what was selected 
}

const data =[....];
async function something(index = 0) {
const d = data[index];
if (!d) return;
const int = await <Message>.awaitMessageComponents({....});

// do whatever you want to do with that, and if it passess
return something(index++)
// or subtract depending on what was selected 
}
