# Stepping through the Model

While the model is suspended, you can step through to the next statement, depending on which action you choose.

1. Open the Debugger sidebar if it is not already open, by clicking on its name.
2. Step through a model using any of the following steps:
   - To step to the next statement in the current subroutine, click the Step Over button, which is the second button from the left in the Debugger sidebar.

     Alternatively, press `F10`.

   - If the current statement contains a call to a subroutine, you can step into the subroutine. The debugger suspends at the first statement of the subroutine. Click the Step Into button, which is the third button from the left in the Debugger sidebar.

     Alternatively, press `F11`.

   - If the current statement is within a subroutine, you can step out of the subroutine. The debugger suspends at the statement after the calling statement. Click the Step Out button, which is the fourth button from the left in the Debugger sidebar.

     Alternatively, press `Shift-F11`.
