Once you have added steps to the integration, you must configure them.
To do this, open the step configuration form by clicking the three-dot icon in the right corner of the step (**More options**) and select the **Edit** option.
>**More options** (available options may vary depending on the step type):
>
>* **Edit**: opens the step configuration form.
>
>* **Replace**: replaces the trigger with another. All settings of the original trigger will be lost.
>
>* **Go to Subflow**: accesses the subflow generated by an EIP, such as Split, allowing you to view and edit the subflow steps.
>
>* **Delete**: deletes the step and all its settings. If the step has branches or subflows, they will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the trigger.
>
>* **Copy**: copies the step with all its settings, allowing you to paste it elsewhere on the canvas within the same flow. Steps with subflows or branches will be copied with the subflows and branches. It is not possible to copy steps in batch.
>
>* **Cut**: cuts a step with all its settings, moving it within the same flow. It is not possible to cut a trigger. Steps with subflows or branches will be cut with the subflows and branches. It is not possible to cut steps in batch.
>
>* **Paste**: pastes the previously copied step within the same flow, maintaining all its settings.
## Configuring component and EIP parameters
Each component and EIP has mandatory and optional parameters for integration configuration. The form for each can be filled in when adding the step to the canvas or later.
Parameters are organized into "sections" or "tabs" that can be expanded/minimized, making navigation and configuration easier.
### Components
Here are the most common sections:
* **Basic**: usually contains information such as the identification (id) and description of the component.
* **Common**: gathers the standard and most widely used options, applicable to most scenarios.
* **Consumer**: focused on specific settings for using the component as a trigger, allowing it to consume messages or events.
* **Producer**: includes parameters aimed at using the component as a connector, to send messages or data to other systems.
* **Advanced**: offers more advanced configuration options, with detailed adjustments that can be applied as needed.
* **Health**: provides settings that allow you to monitor the health and performance of the component.
* **Security**: includes security-related settings, such as authentication and encryption.
* **Scheduler**: covers settings related to intervals, delays, and cron expressions.
### EIPs
EIPs only have the **Basic** and **Advanced** sections.
- If you prefer, you can configure components and EIPs directly in the **Source Code** tab, editing the main.yaml file.
- Use Ctrl+F to find the desired parameters in the code editor.
- Check the main parameters on each [component](/docs/integrations/ipaas-connectors) page.
- Check the [most commonly used EIPs](/docs/integrations/ipaas-eips).
## Viewing subflows
Some EIPs, such as Split, generate subflows.
To access a subflow, click the three-dot icon in the right corner of the EIP that generated it and select **Go to Split** (in the case of the Split EIP).
The first step of the subflow is automatically filled with the step that initiated the subflow in the main route. In this example, the Split itself.
Next, an icon with a + symbol will be displayed, allowing you to continue adding new steps in the same way as in the main route.
The following EIPs have subflows:
* **Aggregate**
* **Circuit Breaker**
* **Filter**
* **Idempotent Consumer**
* **Loop**
* **Pipeline**
* **Policy**
* **Resequence**
* **Saga**
* **Split**
* **Step**
* **Transacted**
* **When Skip Send To Endpoint**
The animation below demonstrates how to access a subflow:
If you delete the first step of the subflow, that is, the one that originated the subflow in the main route, all steps of the subflow will be automatically removed.
