# Wait For Element To Be Clickable

Wait For Element To Be Clickable waits until the [Element](/elements/creating-elements.md) is shown, enabled, and ready to click. Use it before a [Touch](/test-steps/action/touch.md) step when the Flow needs an explicit wait for interactivity.

See [Element states](/test-step-options/element-states.md) for how Clickable relates to Displayed and Enabled.

## When to use it

* Wait for a menu item or link to become interactive after a panel opens.
* Let overlays clear before the next click in a busy UI.
* Prefer [Touch](/test-steps/action/touch.md) alone when you only need to click and the built-in wait is enough.
