Simply put, yes, you can switch between Zoe and Mio in Split Fiction. In the game, various levels grant each character unique abilities or roles. Sometimes, it may happen that a player is not adept at using the abilities properly for one of the characters. This might cause both players to be stuck at a particular level or puzzle.
In that case, they might want to change their characters for a while so that they can progress through the level or solve a puzzle. For players on couch co-op, this shouldn't be an issue as all it requires is simply exchanging controllers. However, if they are playing online, switching up characters isn't so simple. That said, it is not difficult by any means and can be done.
