# Playbook

Within the **Flows** section there is always a Main Flow called **Playbook**. The **Playbook** is executed by the system for every new conversation. The **Playbook** is able to call upon other flows, which can be created with the little plus icon next to **Flows**.

### Start with a Main trigger

A new flow starts with a **Main trigger**. By clicking the **Node** its details can be configured using the side panel called **Node details**.&#x20;

By dragging a line from the big dot at the bottom of a Node, an arrow can be drawn. Arrows can be drawn to other nodes or to an empty space in the canvas, in which case the system will ask which node to create.

### Adding a Node

Nodes can be added by simply drawing a line from another node, or by right clicking somewhere in the canvas. Adding a new node starts by picking the particular node type.

### Removing a Node

Removing a node is done by either selecting the node (click in the head of the node) and pressing the back space button or by pressing the **Remove node** button in the side panel.

### Inserting a Node

If you want to insert a node between two other nodes, simply click on the arrow between the nodes and click on the button **Insert node** in the side panel. Alternatively, you can right click an arrow to insert a node. Which will then be inserted to your flow.

### Node varients

Read this chapter carefully to understand the basic mechanics of Flows. The sub section called [Nodes](https://manuals.dialox.ai/studio/flows/nodes) describes the different node types that can be used to design your flows. &#x20;
