Save a flow to a collection#

A save snapshots the flow into a collection. The flow then survives the session, and you can reopen it from the Collections panel. This page covers the Save Flow popover on the canvas toolbar.

Open the Save Flow popover#

Select the save icon at the right of the canvas toolbar. The Save Flow popover has two fields.

• Name: filled in from the flow's current name. Change it if you want a different name in the collection.
• Collection: a list of every collection and folder. Folders are indented under their parent.

Save, update or overwrite#

The button label changes to match the action.

• Save: creates a new flow in the chosen place.
• Update: replaces the flow you opened, in place. The footer reads "Updates saved flow".
• Overwrite: appears when a different flow of the same name already exists where you are saving. The button turns red, and the footer names the flow that the save replaces.

If you have no collections yet, the footer reads "Create a collection first" and the button stays disabled. Make one in the Collections panel and try again.

What the snapshot holds#

The save captures the whole flow: every block, the connections between them, their positions, any variables on the flow and the current view. When you reopen the flow, the app restores that snapshot.

After the save#

The button confirms with "Saved", the popover closes after a moment, and the sidebar switches to Collections so you can see the result. The flow tab now points at the saved flow, so the next save updates it in place.

To copy the flow out of the app instead, see exporting a flow.
