# Create flows in the IDE
> Create flow files and folders and write test code manually in the QA Wolf IDE.
If you'd prefer to have AI create and edit flows for you, see [Create flows with AI](/qawolf/Automate-flows-using-AI-2d35b2a994fb8084b524cfc9aca7c358).
## Create a folder or flow
Two entry points on the **Flows** tab create a flow in the IDE.
**From the flows list**
Click in the toolbar, then select **New flow** or **New folder**.
**From the IDE**
From the **Flows** tab, hover over the left sidebar to expand it, then click **IDE**.
Navigate to the location in the file tree where you want to create the new file or folder.
Click the icon in the toolbar.
Click **New Folder** or **New Flow**.
Use clear, descriptive names that reflect your app's feature areas — this helps both you and AI keep flows organized.
## Write test code
Select a flow file from the tree to open it in the code editor. The editor prefills new flows with [AAA](https://www.qawolf.com/blog/intro-to-aaa) (Arrange-Act-Assert) comments as a starting structure.
For a full explanation of flow structure and imports, see [Anatomy of a flow](/qawolf/anatomy-of-a-qa-wolf-test-mobile-edition).
QA Wolf lints your code as you type. See [Debug tests & flows](/qawolf/Debug-tests-and-flows-2c15b2a994fb805c9e92eec7a4a3e83e) if you encounter errors.
