limited to subversion

We only support exporting and importing flows within the same subversion of the application. For example, exporting from version 4.14.4 and importing into version 4.14.9 is supported, while exporting from 4.14.4 and importing into 4.17.2 is not.

Filter Flows

Use the search bar to quickly find a flow. While you type:

• Flows are filtered on their name.
• Corresponding groups are opened.
• Matching text is highlighted.
