# Replacement flow queue priorities
## Introduction
When building a process flow, you can set a [queue priority](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings) to determine how the flow is picked from [your queue](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/error-reporting-and-exception-handling/run-logs-and-queue#working-with-your-run-queue) for processing.
When configuring a virtual environment, you can override the `flow queue priority` that's currently defined (in [process flow settings](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings#understanding-process-flow-settings)) for any process flows deployed to the environment.
## Defining flow queue priorities
To define flow queue priorities for process flows running in a virtual environment, follow the steps below.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Edit the configuration for the required virtual environment**
If you're not already editing the configuration for your virtual environment, [access it now](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/configuring-a-virtual-environment-version/..#accessing-the-draft-version-for-a-new-virtual-environment).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Access flow queue priorities**
Select `flow queue priorities` from the list of [replacements](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/configuring-a-virtual-environment-version/configuring-virtual-environment-replacements):
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Create a new flow priority**
Click the `create` button:
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Select the first process flow to update**
Click in the `flow` field and select the first process flow that you want to override - for example:
{% hint style="info" %}
All process flows are available for selection here - it doesn't matter if they haven't been deployed to this environment yet. Use the search option to find a specific flow.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Set the required priority**
Click in the `queue priority` field and select the required priority for this process flow - for example:
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Confirm your selections**
Click the `create` button to confirm your selections - for example:
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Repeat for additional process flows**
Repeat steps 3 to 7 for any additional flows that you want to update.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
