**Creating or Editing a Waterfall**
With a waterfall selected, the Waterfall Tool 2 Editor Mode is split into three tabs:
* [Simple](/assets-and-plugins/waterfall-tool-2/how-to-use/waterfall-tool-2-editor-mode/simple-tab.md): A simplified version of the tool with less options to generate a waterfall quickly.
* [Advanced](/assets-and-plugins/waterfall-tool-2/how-to-use/waterfall-tool-2-editor-mode/advanced-tab.md): A more complex version of the tool with many more options to tweak minor parts of a waterfall.
* [Debug](/assets-and-plugins/waterfall-tool-2/how-to-use/waterfall-tool-2-editor-mode/debug-tab.md): A handful of functions to show debugging data.
