# Steps

Creating and managing your pricing model on our drag-and-drop canvas couldn't be easier. 

Read our section on the [Step builder](/swallow/build/step-builder.md) and [Understanding step types](/swallow/build/step-builder/understanding-step-types.md) to get to grips with how to build, edit and test your model.

## Choose the right kind of step

You can find a [full breakdown of what each step does here](/swallow/build/step-builder.md).

## Name your steps clearly&#x20;

Give every step a unique, descriptive and easy-to-understand name.

## Order steps chronologically

All steps in the model builder will process data and actions from top to bottom, so make sure you understand how to order step blocks [by reading our page here](/swallow/build/step-builder/ordering-step-blocks.md).
