Flow Drafts and Publishing
Save draft changes and publish them when you’re ready.
What this does
Drafts let you make changes without affecting the live flow. Publishing applies those changes to the live version.
Draft status (what you’ll see)
- Draft: Unsaved = you’ve made changes but haven’t saved yet
- Draft saved: Not Published = your changes are saved but not live
- Published = you are viewing the live flow
Flow run status
- Active: new trigger events can start contacts in this flow.
- Inactive: the flow stays available for edits, but new trigger events do not start it.
- Draft changes still require Save Draft and Publish to update the live version.
