Whatfix enables you to copy steps from one Flow to another, to help you reuse previous efforts and reduce the need to repeatedly recreate the same steps. This is useful when the processes or tasks in your application have a few similar steps. Flow steps can be copied and inserted at any point in the flow.

1. Open the desktop application where you'd like to create the Flow and then launch the Whatfix Desktop Studio. 

2. Click Flow.clm_Studio_flows

3. Enter the name of the Flow as you want it to be displayed to your users.
