# How to create a CrowdNewsroom with branches

With beabee you can create complex CrowdNewsrooms with multiple branches. [Here is an example of a CrowdNewsroom where participants take different branches based on their answers.](https://demo.beabee.io/callouts/energy-crisis)

If you are creating a more complex CrowdNewsroom with multiple branches, it is advisable to first create a *flow chart* in which all questions and branches are recorded. The best way to do this is to use a whiteboard tool such as [Miro](https://miro.com/flowchart/) or [Mural](https://www.mural.co/use-case/flowchart), but a real pinboard or white sheet of paper will also do. For example, the *flow chart* for the CrowdNewsroom example linked above looked something like this:

<figure><img src="/files/qVTqblOmwKEgvnXcSfqo" alt="" width="455"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each box is a separate slide, the arrows represent the branches.

Once you have finished your *flow chart*, you can start implementing it.

1. First create all the slides that you have drawn on your flow chart one below the other. To create the branches, you need the CrowdNewsroom-Element *Radio*.

2. Once you have created all the slides, you can create the branches. To do this, go to the slide with the first decision question, hover over it and click on *Edit* from the appearing icons.

3. Click on *Data* and select the next slide for the respective answer from the drop-down menu under *Go to slide*. In this example, each social media has its own slide with individualised questions. So participants who spend most their time on Tiktok will be sent to the TikTok-Slide

4. The branch is noted on the slides and in the slide overview. Of course, this is not visible to participants in the finished CrowdNewsroom.

5. Create all the branches one by one. Once you have the *flow chart* to hand, it only takes a few minutes.
6. That's it!
