One useful way of using this gem is as an administration panel. Take a blog for instance. While you want to administer your site you can do so with the help of the Wizard panel. This panel could list a set of links for you to navigate to, things like a new blog post link, comments section.
Also, if a div has the wizard class assicated with it, a link to that div’s id will be added to the panel to edit or delete that link. So say you are viewing your blog index. At the top level div defining each blog post you can click on that div, and the wizard panel will show you a link to edit or delete that blog post’s id.
