# Flow Operators

Operators behave differently, depending on what you’re configuring. In Assignment elements, operators let you change resource values. In conditions and filters, operators let you evaluate information and narrow the scope of a flow operation.

- **[Flow Operators in Assignment Elements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_operators_assignment.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use Assignment element operators to change the value of a selected resource.
- **[Flow Operators in Decision, Wait, and Collection Filter Elements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_operators_condition.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use condition operators to verify the value of a selected resource. Use conditions in Decision, Wait, and Collection Filter elements.
- **[Flow Operators in Data Elements and Record Choice Sets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_ref_operators_filter.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Filter conditions narrow the scope of records that the flow operates on. For example, use filter conditions to update only the contacts that are associated with the Acme Wireless account. When you add an Update Records element, use filter conditions to narrow the scope to just the contacts whose parent account is Acme Wireless. The In and Not In operators are available only in Create Records, Get Records, and Update Records elements.
