Can we turn the checkout success page into a checkout step in Magento 2?

Question

How can we make the checkout success page part of the regular Magento2 checkout steps?

I like the idea of having a simplified layout with minimal content during the checkout steps. But the confirmation/success page has that same, main layout used by most of the website.

I know that we can build additional checkout steps, i.e: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/howdoi/checkout/checkout_new_step.html but I don't think it is really what should be done in our case.

At the end, we just want the checkout success page to look like a final checkout step, not to work like one of them.

You can update the layout for the checkout's success (& failure) pages in your custom theme:

• checkout_onepage_success.xml
• checkout_onepage_failure.xml

Set layout as checkout:

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="checkout" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
