# Launch Step editor and creating a step
Access any new or existing Tours within the Guide view, highlight the required Tour and click **Open in Editor**. You will now be redirected to the Adopt Editor where you can modify your Tour configuration within the assigned application.
***Note:** This will activate the element picker where you can choose an element on the page to associate to this step.*
## **Adding a Step**
1. Open your chosen guide in the Adopt Editor
2. Click **Add a Step**, or alternatively click the + icon
3. Click **Step** from the dropdown, or use the keyboard shortcut **Shift + A**
***Note:** This will activate the element picker where you can choose an element on the page to associate to this step.*
4. Either hover the cursor over your page and choose an element by clicking on it, or using the **Shift + S** keyboard shortcut. This will create a step assigned to the chosen element
***Note: Shift + S** keyboard shortcut is handy, especially when an element can’t be chosen by a mouse. This may happen when you want to pick an element in a pop-up menu which isn’t visible when clicked. In such cases, you can use the keyboard shortcut.*
Now that you have created a new guide and added a new step, you can add as many as necessary to cover every possible scenario where a user might need guidance.
Once all steps have been created, you can access Step customization by clicking the gear icon of an individual step.
## **Step Editor**
When you open a Tour in Editor mode, the Step Editor appears. Below you can see how the Step Editor appears on-screen.
