# Add, move and remove steps

Add the steps your workflow does, put them in order, and take them out.

## Add a step

1. Under the last card, press **+**. To put a step between two cards, press the **+** on the line between them.
2. In **Add a step**, type what you need, such as `sheets`, or open a category.
3. Choose the app, then what it should do, and fill in its fields.

You should see a new card with the step’s number, such as **02**. A card that still needs a field shows a warning mark.

## Rename a step

Select it, press its name at the top of the panel, and type. The card shows the new name. A name can be 255 characters.

Expressions keep working: they point at the step’s fixed name, such as `step_1`, not at its title.

## Move, copy and remove

Right-click a card for these:

| Choose | What it does | Key |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Move up**, **Move down** | Swaps the step with its neighbour. |   |
| **Duplicate** | Adds a copy right after it, with a name that says it’s a copy. | `⌘` `D` |
| **Copy**, **Paste** | One step at a time. Paste puts it after the selected step. | `⌘` `C`, `⌘` `V` |
| **Disable** | Runs skip the step, and its card says **Off**. **Enable** brings it back. |   |
| **Replace piece** | Swaps the step’s app or action, in the same place. |   |
| **Run from here** | Tests your draft from this step. Only on the main line, not inside a branch or loop. |   |
| **Delete** | Removes the step. | `⌫` |

Made a mistake? Press `⌘` `Z` to undo, and `⌘` `⇧` `Z` to redo.

**How do I change the trigger?**

Right-click the trigger’s card and choose **Replace trigger**. **Reset trigger** clears it, so you can choose again.

**Can I leave notes on the canvas?**

Yes. Right-click the canvas and choose **Add sticky note**. Notes never change what a run does.

## For developers

Each step has a `name` that never changes, such as `step_1`, and a `displayName`, the title on its card. Steps follow one another through `nextAction`. See [Workflow definition](https://docs.gorunner.io/api/workflow-definition).
