# Move and Connect Elements to Change a Flow Route
Identify which elements the flow runs and in what order by connecting the elements on your canvas together. To change the run order, move elements and add or remove connectors.
### Required Editions
To open, edit, create, activate or
deactivate a flow using all flow types, elements, and features available in Flow
Builder, including Einstein and Agentforce for Flow:
Manage Flow
Note You don't need to be an admin to have the Manage Flow permission. Ask your admin to add it to your profile or permission set.
## Route a Flow in Auto-Layout
In auto-layout, Flow Builder automatically creates connectors when an element is added, and it removes connectors when an element is deleted. Place elements in the desired order, and move them to change the order of execution.
### Move a Single Element in Auto-Layout
You can’t directly move elements in auto-layout. So, to change a single element’s location, cut the element, and then paste it to its new location.
1. Click the element that you want to move.
2. Select **Cut Element**.
3. Where you want to place the element, click , and then click  to paste.
When cutting a Decision or Wait element, you can leave the elements from an outcome or configuration path on the canvas after cutting. To keep elements from a path on the canvas, select the path in the cut element panel. To cut a Decision or Wait element and all of its paths, select **None, cut all paths.** from the cut element panel.
### Move Multiple Elements in Auto-Layout
To move multiple elements, select all the elements that you want to move, copy them, paste them to their new location, and then delete the original elements.
1. Click **Select Elements**.
2. Click  on each element that you want to move.
3. To copy the selected elements, click .
4. Where you want to place the elements, click .
5. Select **Paste Elements**.
6. For each copied element, click the element, and select **Delete Element**.
### Connect Nonconsecutive Elements in Auto-Layout
In Auto-Layout, elements on the canvas are spaced and connected automatically. To connect elements that aren’t automatically connected, use a Go To connector.
1. To change a connector to a Go To connector, directly after the element that you want to connect from, click .
2. Click **Connect to element**.
3. Click  on the element that you want to connect to.
## Route a Flow in Free-Form
In free-form, you create and remove connectors that determine the order of execution for the elements on the canvas.
1. On the canvas, find the node at the bottom of the source element.
2. Drag the node onto the target element.
3. If prompted, select which decision outcome or wait configuration to assign to the path.
### Remove Connectors from a Flow in Free-Form
When you need to change the execution path of a flow in Free-Form layout, delete the connector and then add a new one.
1. In your flow, select the connector to delete.
When you select a connector, its color changes from gray to blue.
2. Press the DELETE key.
If you delete a connector for a specific outcome of a Decision element, the outcome isn't deleted from the source element. However, if you delete an outcome from a Decision element, the outcome's connector is also deleted.
Wait for Conditions elements work similarly. If you delete a connector for a specific path of a Wait for Conditions element, the path isn't deleted from the source element. But if you delete a path from a Wait for Conditions element, the path's connector is also deleted.
