# How can I switch between the Flow step types?

There are two ways to switch between the Flow step types: **Attached to element** or **Free-floating.**

- During Flow creation on Whatfix Studio: The dialog box that appears on Studio enables you to switch over to the Flow step types.

In case, you select a default step, the minimized Studio editor enables you to flexibly switch over to either step. For more information, see [Create a Free-floating Flow](/studio/docs/create-free-floating-flows) step.

- After Flow creation on Dashboard: The **Launch live edit** option enables you to edit a Flow after its creation. It also helps you change the Flow step type in the process. When you switch over to another Flow step type, the [Flow content remains unaffected.](/studio/docs/what-happens-to-the-content-when-i-switch-flows)
