Inserting flows in other flows

Edit online

At any time, you can include an existing flow definition in another flow. You can link to a flow definition, which means that you can maintain the linked flow definition separately from the flow. You can also copy a flow definition into another flow definition.

Before you begin

In order to be able to select flow definitions to copy or link, the flow definitions must have the status Published.
