# Choose a view

YouDesign Freelucy shows the same record three ways. Every view edits the same record and shares the same staged changes, so you can switch whenever one fits the task better. Use the view tabs or the `Cmd/Ctrl` plus number shortcut for the view.

## Classic

The original canvas. Your primary element sits in the center with its relationships radiating out as connected nodes. Best for a spatial sense of a record's immediate neighborhood and for users who already know the Classic editor.

[Open the Classic view guide](/freelucy/views-in-depth/classic.md)

## Flow

A two-column layout: upstream on one side, downstream on the other, with the primary element between them. Each column has search, relationship-type filters, and grouping. Best for working through long relationship lists quickly and for precise add, remap, and remove actions.

[Open the Flow view guide](/freelucy/views-in-depth/flow.md)

## List

A fast, read-only table of the current record's fields and related records, with search. Best for inspecting a record's details without editing.

[Open the List view guide](/freelucy/views-in-depth/list.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Your last view is remembered.** Freelucy keeps your view choice per table, so the next record you open in that table starts where you left off.
{% endhint %}
