A running care flow isn't fixed. The care team can add a track when circumstances change, or stop one
that no longer serves the patient. Both are possible from Awell Care or through the API.

## Find the care flow [#find-the-care-flow]

1. Go to the **Patient list** in Awell Care.
2. Search for and select the patient.
3. Select one of the **active** care flows at the top of the Care flows page.

That opens the activity feed. **Manage**, at the top right, adds a track or stops or deletes the care
flow. The **timeline** view can also stop an ongoing track.

## Add a track [#add-a-track]

Useful when circumstances change, or when part of the care flow needs repeating and the timing wasn't
predictable.

Which tracks are available depends on the design. Only tracks marked as allowing **manual** triggering
in Studio appear in the list.

> **Tip for designers**: adding the *manual activation* trigger to every track keeps the operating team
> free to activate any phase. It costs nothing and saves a redesign when someone later needs a phase the
> design didn't anticipate.

## Stopping a track doesn't stop the care flow [#stopping-a-track-doesnt-stop-the-care-flow]

Stop a track when it and its pending activities no longer serve the patient, for example after a change
in their circumstances.

Stopping a track ends its pending activities. The rest of the care flow keeps running.

## Through the API [#through-the-api]

Both are available in the Orchestration API. See
[Tracks in the API reference](/api-reference/reference/tracks).

## Next steps [#next-steps]

**Next:** [Stop or delete a care flow](/docs/run-care-flows/stop-or-delete-a-care-flow) when the whole
flow, not one track, should end.
