# Add or Delete a Node

> Based on your business requirement, anytime in the workflow you can add a new node between existing nodes, delete a single node (the rest of the workflow reconnects automatically), or delete an entire branch (the node and every node after it).

## Add a Node

To add a node, click the **+** at the point in the workflow where you want to insert it, and then choose the required action from the **Choose an action** menu — **Add a Condition**, **Add a Delay**, **Create a Multi-branch Split**, **Create a True/False Split**, or **Send to Destinations**.

## Delete a Node

When you delete a node, only that node is removed. The nodes that follow it automatically reconnect to the parent node, so the rest of the workflow definition is preserved.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    On the canvas, select the node you want to delete, and then click the red **✕** (delete) icon that appears at the top-right corner of the node.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Are you sure you want to proceed?** confirmation dialog, click **Yes, Permanently Delete** to remove the node. To keep the node, click **Cancel**.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    The node is removed and the following nodes reconnect to the parent node, preserving the rest of the workflow.

## Delete a Branch

You can also delete an entire branch — a node along with all the nodes that follow it in that branch. Unlike deleting a single node, deleting a branch permanently removes everything below the point where you cut.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Hover over the branch connector line (the line that joins two nodes) at the point where you want to cut. A **snip** (scissors) icon appears on the connector. Click the **snip** icon.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **Are you sure you want to proceed?** confirmation dialog, click **Yes, Permanently Delete** to delete the branch. To keep it, click **Cancel**.

</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deleting a branch removes the node below the cut **and every node that follows it** in that branch. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
</Warning>

<Note>
  **Note:**

  *In case of a multi-branch split applied, you can delete the individual nodes that lie within the split. But, when you try to delete a multi-branch split, both the underlying individual nodes are deleted as well.*
</Note>

<Warning>
  Deleting a **Delay** node while editing removes the users who are currently waiting in that delay from the workflow.
</Warning>
