Footer Pane

The Footer Pane has the following:

  • Autosave Enabled: The left of the Footer pane indicates that Autosave is enabled. Flows are saved to avoid data loss, and an error notification appears if autosave is suspended.

    Note

    There is a scenario in which data could be lost if you close the browser window while data is autosaving. We recommend you wait a few seconds after you make changes to your flow before you close the browser.

  • Application Version: The left of the Footer pane displays the version of the Flow Designer application. You can use the version for troubleshooting errors in the Flow Designer.

  • Flow Validation: Flow Validation checks if there are errors in a flow’s structure that will prevent the flow from working. You can enable the validation toggle on the right of the Footer Pane at any time. By default, validation is not running on the back end, so no errors display in the window. When the toggle is enabled, the backend validation commences and any errors in the flow are surfaced to the UI. For more information about Flow Validation, see Validate a Flow.

  • Flow Publishing: Before you can publish a flow, you must validate the flow and resolve any errors. The Publish button is disabled if the Validation toggle is off. Once validation is enabled, the Publish button remains disabled if there are any active errors in the flow. For more information about Flow Publishing, see Publish a Flow.
