# Advanced settings and methods for Flows

Discover new ways to further customize your Flow integration

## The 'lazyLoad' configuration parameter

The `lazyLoad` (boolean) parameter enables or disables the lazy-loading feature. By default, it is set to `true`.

The "lazy load" feature **delays the Flow from loading until the user scrolls to the location in which it's been integrated**. It allows a better bandwidth performance on image-heavy sites.

We don't recommend to disable it, but some users might prefer to do it so the Flow loads right away. To set the `lazyLoad` parameter to false, add the parameter to the Flow's embed snippet:

```
<div id="js-flowbox-flow"></div>  
<script>  
  window.flowbox('init', {  
    container: '#js-flowbox-flow',  
    key: 'YOUR FLOW KEY',  
    locale: 'language-COUNTRY',  
    lazyLoad: false  
  })  
</script>
```

## The 'update' method to refresh Flows with new parameters

Flowbox's `update` method can be used to modify a Flow with different parameters compared to the original `init` method. This method is useful when you want to dynamically update a Flow, such as implementing a Dynamic Tag Flow with buttons that trigger Flow updates based on user interactions.

To use the `update` method, include the following code snippet:

```
<script>  
window.flowbox('update', {  
key: 'YOUR FLOW KEY'  
// add new parameters for the updated Flow here  
});  
</script>
```

For example, see the article about Tag Flow Buttons to see how the `update` method is used in practice:

## The 'destroy' method for SPA websites

In SPA (single-page application) websites, it's necessary to remove existing Flow instances when navigation events are triggered. To achieve this, use Flowbox's `destroy` method before creating a new instance of a Flow.

To remove the existing Flow instances, use the following code snippet:

```
<script>  
window.flowbox('destroy', {   
container: '#js-flowbox-flow'   
});  
</script>
```
