# How do I switch between Legacy and Quick Capture in Flows?

[Quick Capture Flow](/studio/docs/what-are-quick-capture-flows) enables you to create Flow steps by clicking the UI elements, which records all your interactions. It further uses AI to automatically convert your clicks into configured steps with titles and descriptions, thereby minimizing configuration pauses and accelerating the entire process. For more information, see [Create Quick Capture Flows](/studio/docs/create-quick-capture-flows).

If you want to create a Flow step using the manual way, you have the option to switch to **Legacy** from **Quick Capture** Flows at any point.

Use the following steps to switch to Legacy flow capture:

1. In the minimized Studio toolbar, click the **Learn more** icon. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-KKPQ5OEB.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T05%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-17T06%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Uurnz8qUZEdOGTkF%2FA5owp4g2HNefZmy4sz8vbTTFbw%3D)
2. Click **Switch back to legacy**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-PYTB3WBE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T05%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-17T06%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Uurnz8qUZEdOGTkF%2FA5owp4g2HNefZmy4sz8vbTTFbw%3D)
3. Click **Switch back to legacy** again to confirm. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-1858VUY6.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T05%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-17T06%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Uurnz8qUZEdOGTkF%2FA5owp4g2HNefZmy4sz8vbTTFbw%3D)

**Legacy** refers to the manual method of Flow creation with both **Attached to element** and **Free-floating steps** types. For more information, see [Create a Flow](/studio/docs/creating-a-flow-1). Once you click **Legacy**, a dialog box appears which prompts you to switch between either Attached to element or Free-floating step types. For more information, see [Free-floating steps in Flows](/studio/docs/free-floating-flows).

Whatfix enables you to switch between the **Legacy** Flows and **Quick Capture** Flows depending on your use cases. The switcher enables you to transition between Flow step types at any point of your Flow creation. For instance, you can start with **Quick Capture** and transition midway to Free-floating or Attached to element step types within the **Legacy** mode of Flows.
