# Flow tooltip flickers or appears at different position

## Issue

Tooltips of a Flow appear at random places and not on the selected element, or they don't display correctly, or flicker.

## Probable Causes

Issues with flow tooltips are usually because of the following:

- The element may not have been selected correctly when the Flow was created.
- There could have been a change in the application code that may have changed the selected element that the tooltip was to display on.
- The Flow step requires Display Rules for the tooltip to detect the element properly.

## Suggested Solution

Try editing the Flow and select the correct element again. This should resolve the issue.

Use the following steps to reselect an element:

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)

3. Hover your cursor over the Flow you want to update, and then click the **Edit** icon. ![Desktop_Click_edit](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Desktop_Click_edit.png)
