# Using Flowcharts parts

You use Flowchart parts to build programs which you can execute, test and modify. You can also use input and output elements to control parts which are outside the flowchart.

Tips for use:

- To see the name of a Flowchart part, use the Flowchart labels button on the toolbar.
- Many Flowchart parts can be edited directly and are underlined and coloured blue when you move the cursor over them. This means that you may click on the text element or part to edit it. Some Flowchart parts may have additional properties that you can edit in the Properties pane.
- If a Flowchart part is wrongly connected or there is some kind of error in the routine, the flowchart will not continue to run and a warning symbol is shown. To see details of an error, place the mouse cursor over the symbol.
