How to use If command in the selenium ide?

Question

I was searching the web for a long time. I'm trying to put if and else statements into this selenium IDE. The program itself doesn't provide any parameters, hints, or help. I saw a lot of results online where it's just java code, however I don't see anyway to enter code here.

Can someone show me an example of how to use this if and then statement?

Welcome. I made the images as inline to improve readbility :) — Navarasu, Oct 14 '18 at 23:11
I had missed two points: 1) You need to store text/value as a variable to run an "if" on it. 2) The "if" has to be matched with an "end". Thanks! — ronathan, May 09 '20 at 02:18
