About to change an Send email Action node, and wondering how many places you have used that particular Action node? Appfarm Create can tell you in one right-click.

**Find usage** lists every place a UI component or action node is used, with a link straight to each one. Search the app, service or flow you’re in, or the whole solution.

**How to**

1. Right-click a UI component in the **UI components** library pane, or an action node in the **Action nodes** pane.
2. Choose **Find usage of … in this app** (or in this Service or in this Flow) to search where you are.
3. Or choose **Find usage of …** to search the whole solution.
4. Click a result to jump straight to it.

**When it’s useful** Before changing something that’s used in many places: every Map, every Table, every Send Email or Web Request. It’s also a quick way to get to know an app you’ve taken over, by seeing which components and nodes it actually uses.

**Good to know**

- The first option searches only where you are. The second covers every app, service and flow in the solution.
- It starts from the library panes: the **UI components** library pane for UI components, and the **Action nodes** pane for action nodes.
