Flow Versioning

Versioning helps to maintain a history of every change that is made to the flow by being able to identify the current and previous version of flows. Flow versioning makes it easy to track iterative enhancements of flows.

Flow versioning allows you to annotate each change with a message describing the purpose and intent of the change being made to help track and analyze the need for the change.

Note: You cannot make a flow live if the flow has errors, however, you can save it as draft flow.
