  2. Attached Steps - all messages that are connected to each other through buttons.
  3. Unattached Steps - all messages that are yet to be connected to any of the buttons.
  4. Element Settings window - here you can change the element's name and settings. Also, additional actions can be attached to the element by clicking + Action at the bottom.
  5. List of Blocks -  this list consists of all blocks that you can insert into the step.
  6. Attention Icon - indicates a block that needs your attention. Hover the cursor over it to see what has to be done.
  7. Content Type - allows you to select a Message Tag or OTN topic for the step.
  8. Flow Checker - shows you messages in the Flow that might not be sent to your subscribed contact due to the Messenger policy changes.
