How to write multiple lines inside a box of flowchart made using TikZ?

Question

I am trying to make a large flow chart. The description in each box (trapezoidal, rectangular, diamond shapes) is quite long, so I want to write them in multiple lines inside the boxes. How can I do that? I tried to use \ \ but it didn't work. This is picture is what I am trying to achieve (this is made in MS Word).

Also, if you know any post or tutorial that tells in detail about the usage of the latest version of TikZ, please point me to that.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{listings}
%\usetikzlibrary{calc,positioning,angles,arrows.meta,quotes,intersections}
%\usetikzlibrary{through}
\begin{document}
\lstset{
    basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily,
    columns=flexible,
    frame=single,
    framerule=0pt,%
    backgroundcolor=\color{gray!20},%
    xleftmargin=\fboxsep,%
    xrightmargin=\fboxsep,
    language=[LaTeX]TeX,%
    keywordstyle=\color{blue},%
    texcsstyle=*\color{red}\bfseries,%
    texcs={end,begin,documentclass,graphicspath},%
    mathescape=false,escapechar=|,%
    literate={<B>}{\textcolor{blue}{\string\usepackage}}1
    {{ }{\textcolor{red}{{}}1
    {}}{\textcolor{red}{}}}1
    {[}{\textcolor{green}{[}}1

    {]}{\textcolor{green}{]}}1

}
    Taken straight from the pgf manual chapter 17.4.3 Text Parameters: Alignment and 
 Width for Multi-Line Text
\textbf{Option1}--  you can use a {tabular} inside a node
\begin{lstlisting}
\tikz \node [draw] {
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
        upper left & upper right\
        lower left & lower right
    \end{tabular}
};\end{lstlisting}\tikz \node [draw] {
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
        upper left & upper right\
        lower left & lower right
    \end{tabular}
};
\hfill\break
\textbf{Option2}-- use \verb|\| inside your node to mark the end of lines. This will 
only be done, however, if the align option has been given
\begin{lstlisting}
    \tikz[align=left] \node[draw] {This is an\align=left demonstration.};
\end{lstlisting}\tikz[align=left] \node[draw] {This is an\align=left demonstration.};
\hfill\break
\begin{lstlisting}
    \tikz[align=center] \node[draw] {This is an\align=center demonstration.};
\end{lstlisting}
\tikz[align=center] \node[draw] {This is a\align =center demonstration.};
\hfill\break
The \verb|\| command takes an optional extra space as an argument in square brackets.
\begin{lstlisting}
    \tikz \node[fill=yellow!80!black,align=right]
    {This is a\[-2pt] demonstration text for\[1ex] alignments.};
\end{lstlisting}
\tikz \node[fill=yellow!80!black,align=right]
{This is a\[-2pt] demonstration text for\[1ex] alignments.};
\hfill\break
\textbf{Option3}
\begin{lstlisting}
    /tikz/text width=dimension
\end{lstlisting}
This option will put the text of a node in a box of the given width (something akin to 
a {minipage}
of this width). If the node text is not as wide as dimension, it will
nevertheless be put in a box of this width. If it is larger, line breaking will be 
done.
\begin{lstlisting}
\tikz \draw (0,0) node[fill=yellow!80!black,text width=3cm]
{This is a demonstration text for showing how line breaking works.};
\end{lstlisting}
\tikz \draw (0,0) node[fill=yellow!80!black,text width=3cm]
{This is a demonstration text for showing how line breaking works.};
\end{document}
