# Manage module

## Design a module

The FlowScript code in modules are edited within the Designer. To make changes to the module, simply click on the relevant card in the Hub to open the code editor in Designer.

Test your module in the **FlowScript Playground**, which can be launched by selecting **Tools** > **FlowScript Playground** from the menu. Any modules open in the Designer will be automatically accessible in the Playground.

Read more about [custom modules](/flow-connect/reference/reference/flowscript/walkthrough/custom-modules.md) in the FlowScript reference.&#x20;

## Commit a module

A module needs to be committed before it can be used in an application or component. Click on the Commit button in the top right corner and enter a commit message.

## Use a module in an application

Assets are displayed at the bottom of the Steps panel in the Designer interface. To incorporate a module into your application, simply drag and drop it from the panel onto the application canvas. Modules are not connected to any steps; having them on the canvas will make their functions available in your application.

## Module dependencies

When a module is used in an application it will always use the latest committed version of the module when it's running in Development environment.&#x20;

When the application is committed, the version of the module will be fixed, ensuring it remains unaffected by subsequent changes to later versions of the module.

When deploying an application version, it will include the module version that was in use at the time of the commit.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/create-and-design/modules/manage-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
