# Running a flow

{% hint style="warning" %}
While a flow is running, do not manually interact with the page (click, scroll, etc.) or the flow will likely break
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Flows must run in the active tab of a window. If you'd like to browse while running a flow in the background, create a new window.
{% endhint %}

The Browserflow editor can be opened by clicking the extension icon or pressing the [keyboard shortcut](https://docs.browserflow.app/guides/keyboard-shortcuts) on any page.

Once the editor is open, a flow can be run by:

* Clicking the play button next to a flow's name (flow list screen)
* Clicking the Run button (flow screen)
