just one step vs just one last step

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Just one step' implies taking a single action without specifying if it's the final one, while 'just one last step' emphasizes that the action is the final one in a sequence. The choice between them depends on the context and the desired emphasis.
