Flow source ​

The Flow source is the source code of a Flow, which is compiled and deployed when a Flow is activated. Flows are stored as JSON objects which contain all of the data about the Flow, including the full code for all Step templates downloaded or created, the configuration and placement of all Steps on the Canvas (regardless of whether they are connected to the main logic tree), all reporting tags, metadata, etc. This means that you can save a Flow to an external repository or share it with colleagues in full outside of the Designer. It also makes it possible to make changes on the code level.
