# Engagement Program Rules

In an engagement program, rule steps define criteria-based paths for prospects. A single rule step can evaluate up to five conditions.

### Required Editions

Pardot is now known as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it, including in the app itself.
