# Use your forms and library content in a Flow

Learn what happens when a template reuses a form or a library item, and what you can and can't change afterwards.

A template can reuse things you already have in Hubflo instead of rebuilding them: your forms, and the links, embeds and notes of your content library.

## Forms

Choose **Form** on a step to pick one from your Forms. Nothing is copied: the step points to the form itself. Answers collected through a Flow show up in **Forms** like any other submission, and you can edit the form as usual.

**A form used in a template can't be archived.** The Archive button is greyed out and tells you which templates use it. Pick another form in those steps first, then archive.

**Tip:** need a different version of a form for one template? Duplicate the form in Forms first, then select the copy.

## Links, embeds and notes

To reuse one you already have, hover the **Link**, **Embed** or **Note** card when choosing what the step holds, and click the library icon on its right (**Add from my library**). Pick the item and it's added to the step. Clicking the card itself creates a new one.

An item picked from your library isn't copied: the step points to that item. The picker says it too: "You're adding a link from your library, not copying it. Any change you make to it will apply everywhere it is used."

**Important:** if you edit a shared item from the template, the change applies everywhere it's used: in your library, in your workspaces and in your other templates. The editor shows "This item is shared in multiple locations" with the list of places, to remind you.

Content you create directly in a step lives only in that step. Turn on **In my library** when creating or editing it to make it available in your library and in other templates.

## Shared files

Files are uploaded from your device with **Add files**. Removing them from the step doesn't delete them: the originals stay in your library.

## Flows already started

A Flow keeps its own copy of the template's content. Editing a library item or a template doesn't change Flows in progress. Forms are the exception: a Flow always uses the current version of the form.
