# Add, join, leave out or delete steps

Add a step from any moment of the take, or one that is only words. Join two steps, leave one out of the document, or delete it.

Where to find it: Guide editor › Steps strip › Add step

## Add a step

1. Press **Add step** on the strip.
2. Choose **A moment from the take**, then pick the moment, or **Words only** for a step with no picture.

The new step goes after the open one.

## Change a step

The open step’s actions sit in the top corner of its picture:

- **Leave this step out**: Keeps the step in the editor but out of the document. Press it again to put the step back.
- **Join with the next step**: Makes one step of two: the first’s picture and line, with both steps’ words.
- **Delete this step**: Removes it. The step next to it opens.

## The same thing, clicked twice

When two steps click the same thing a moment apart, Simple offers to tidy them: **Make them one**, **Show me**, or **Make each one** to keep both.

> **Tip:** To start the steps again from your clicks, choose **Rebuild steps from clicks** in Pro.
