# Starting a Walk

The Canvass tab opens to a list of your active walks. Tap any walk to resume it, or create a new one.

If you haven't created any walks yet, you'll see a **Create a Walk** button in the middle of the screen instead of a list — tap it to get started.

## Creating a new walk

Tap the **+** button in the corner to open a menu with three options:

* **Traditional Walk** — select an existing list of contacts from NationBuilder
* **Proximity Walk** — build a walk on the fly from contacts near your current location
* **Cold Walk** — start with no list and add households as you knock doors

After selecting an option and a list (for Traditional), you'll see the [Walk Preview](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/walk-preview.md) before starting.

[Proximity Walk](/product-tour-or-mobile-app/canvass/proximity-walk.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Deleting a walk

Swipe left on any walk in the list to delete it. Deleting a walk doesn't remove the underlying list — you can start a new walk on the same list at any time.

{% hint style="info" %}
The three walk types (Traditional, Proximity, Cold) can be enabled or disabled per user type in [App Customization](/product-tour-or-hq/app-customization.md).
{% endhint %}
