# Collaborating

Use these best practices when collaborating with other flow builders to create or update a flow.

## Use subflows

If you can break a large flow into separate, smaller flows (subflows), each flow builder can work independently. See the [Subflows](davinci_best_practices_subflows.html) section for best practices.

## Rename flows to show working status

Rename the flow with your initials while you are working in the flow, and change the name back to the original name when you are finished. This will let other flow builders know to wait until you are finished with your changes.
