# Delete a step in a Flow

Applications undergo UI changes from time to time. You might have created a Flow with a step pointing to a UI element which might no longer be available. In such cases, Whatfix enables you to delete such steps from a Flow and prevent the user's workflow from breaking.

Use the following process to delete steps from a Flow:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A33%3A50Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A33%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=G2GGG%2FFrRR7vjyBSegA5PBxqTUJSFDZ%2BILc0VxTx0Os%3D)
2. Click **Flows**. ![ia_left%20nav_flows](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left%20nav_flows.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A33%3A50Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A33%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=G2GGG%2FFrRR7vjyBSegA5PBxqTUJSFDZ%2BILc0VxTx0Os%3D)
3. Hover your cursor over the required Flow, and then click the **Edit** icon. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-QSOJQNUO.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A33%3A50Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A33%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=G2GGG%2FFrRR7vjyBSegA5PBxqTUJSFDZ%2BILc0VxTx0Os%3D)

          Info

          

Whatfix Content and Widgets can be edited in the **Draft** and **Ready** Stages.

1. Go to the step you want to delete, and then click **Delete**.  

![Dashboard_flow_delete_step](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Dashboard_flow_delete_step.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A33%3A50Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A33%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=G2GGG%2FFrRR7vjyBSegA5PBxqTUJSFDZ%2BILc0VxTx0Os%3D)

          Note

          

Ensure that you preview the Flow when you delete a step from a Flow, to avoid any Flow failure. When you delete a step from a Flow, the next step replaces the deleted step. If the next step is not present on the same page, this might result in a Flow failure.

For example, consider that you want to delete step 3 in a Flow, and step 4 is latched on an element on another page. When the Flow is initiated, this might result in the failure of the Flow as step 4 is present on a different page.

1. On the top right, click **Save**.
