This section covers where patients and clinicians do what a care flow asks of them: fill in a form,
read a message, confirm an appointment.

## Placement decides which option fits [#placement-decides-which-option-fits]

| Option                                                         | Effort  | Controls                   | Best when                                              |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **[Hosted Pages](/docs/embed-and-host/overview-hosted-pages)** | Lowest  | Branding and settings      | Going live fast matters, and Awell's UI is good enough |
| **[Navi](/docs/embed-and-host/what-is-navi)**                  | Medium  | Placement, theming, events | Activities belong inside an existing product           |
| **[Your own UI](/docs/embed-and-host/build-your-own-ui)**      | Highest | Everything                 | Neither of the above allows what's needed              |

Hosted Pages and Navi are both prebuilt UI for care flows, so the difference between them is
placement: Hosted Pages is a page a stakeholder is sent to, or an iframe, while Navi is a component
rendered **inside** an existing app. Use Navi where patients already use the host product, and
Hosted Pages where they are sent a link.

## Authors choose the surface; engineers embed it [#authors-choose-the-surface-engineers-embed-it]

Picking an option and branding the result is a care flow author's call; embedding it is an engineer's.
