Template Structure

Flows

Explains flows as the part of a template where states and actions define how stubs progress through a process.

# Overview

The flow is where the states and actions of a process are defined.
This is what you'll spend most of your time editing when you're working on a template.

The flow is one of the most specific parts of the template, along with the layout.

# Flow Components

The flow contains a few main components:

• States - The high-level phases in a stub's lifecycle.
• Actions - The steps that perform work in the process.
• Annotations - Non-executing visual elements that provide context or support testing.
  • Draft Stubs - Links to draft stubs for testing the flow.
  • Notes - General context or guidance about the flow.
  • Headings - Labels that organize sections of the flow canvas.
• Data - Editable values stored in template.data, which are shared across all branches.
• Branch Data - Editable values stored in template.branch_data, which can differ between branches.
