# Create a relationship

Adding a relationship means bringing a record in from the Data Hub and attaching it to your primary element on the upstream or downstream side. You can do this with a click or with a drag, in any editing view.

## Click to add

This is the quickest and most forgiving path, and it works the same in every view.

1. Open the [Data Hub](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/data-hub.md) and find the record you want to relate.
2. On that record, choose **Add to Upstream** or **Add to Downstream**.
3. If more than one relationship type is valid, pick the one you want. If only one applies, YouDesign Freelucy uses it automatically.

{% hint style="warning" %}
🖼️ **Screenshot needed — `v26-create-add-menu.png`** A Data Hub record showing the Add to Upstream / Add to Downstream actions.
{% endhint %}

The relationship is now staged on the chosen side.

## Drag to add

You can also drag a record out of the Data Hub onto a valid drop target. Freelucy lights up only the sides your metamodel allows.

* In **Flow**, drop the record into the upstream or downstream column.
* In **Classic**, drop the record onto the circular drop indicator that appears next to the primary element on the allowed side. Releasing anywhere else cancels the add.

{% hint style="warning" %}
🖼️ **Screenshot needed — `v26-create-drag-dropzone.png`** Dragging a Data Hub record with a valid drop zone highlighted (Flow column shown).
{% endhint %}

If more than one relationship type is valid, pick one when prompted.

{% hint style="warning" %}
🖼️ **Screenshot needed — `v26-create-type-picker.png`** The relationship-type picker shown when more than one type applies.
{% endhint %}

## How a staged add looks

A new relationship is staged, not yet committed. Freelucy marks staged additions so you can tell them apart from relationships that already exist. In Flow, a staged add shows a green accent and a plus badge.

{% hint style="warning" %}
🖼️ **Screenshot needed — `v26-create-pending-add.png`** A staged (pending) added relationship, showing the green add styling in Flow.
{% endhint %}

The relationship is not written to ServiceNow until you [commit](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/commit-changes.md).
