Flow Deployment Slots
When you create or edit a flow, you can save it as a draft or staged version to make and test changes. Once the flow is saved and on staging, it can be promoted to main. If this flow is registered to other workspaces when moving to main, all registrations of the flow will be promoted to the main version.
You can tell in what slot a given flow registration is running by the staging flask icon or the main crown icon displayed next to the History field and by the staging or main indicator in the upper right corner.
You can also see the flow slots in the Running On column of the Flow page. This can help you keep track of where your flows are running when creating integrations and managing feature changes.
Callable flows are run independently of the calling flow.
Before You Begin
When you register a new flow to a workspace or register an existing flow that doesn't yet have a version on main, App Xchange looks to the main deployment slot for the flow, even though there’s no valid main version. Once you save the flow, you’ll be able to see the version on staging and be able to promote it to main.
Staging
There are several staging options when you create or edit a flow.
Save and Deploy to Staging: Saves saves the work you’re doing on the flow and puts the flow in the staging slot where you can test the changes. This updates all versions of the flow that are on staging.
When you deploy to staging, the flow is validated against all other workspaces with the flow on staging.
Save Draft Version: Saves the work you’re doing on the flow, but does not put the flow in staging or main slots. This updates only your version of the flow.
Revert All Changes: An option in the drop down menu. This will discard any changes made to the selected staged version and redeploy the latest main version.
Main
You can only deploy the flow to main when the flow is in staging and all the changes you made to the flow have been saved. When you promote the flow to main, all flow registrations in all workspaces will be put in the main deployment slot.
When you promote an edited flow to main, App Xchange displays a list of other customer workspaces that use this flow. This list is informational only. You can see more details about the customer workspaces in the Registrations tab.
History
The flow history is a list of all saved versions of your flow, regardless of if they are on staging or main. Select versions with the icons to make those versions active. The icon next to the History menu is the active flow.
The paper icon is a draft not saved to staging or main.
The flask icon is the current version on staging.
The crown icon is the current version on main.
The arrow icon is the previous main version. Use this to roll back the current changes and send the current main version to draft.
Select any version to see the flow steps. There’s no limit to how many versions can be contained in the history.
Note: If a staged version is displayed, it can be promoted to main.
