Is there best practice for Flow sizing or limit on flow size


1656 Views Last updated : May 6, 2025 public Copy Permalink
KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Noticing significant UI slowness when working with a flow having 66 elements. The slowness is with scrolling through the flow as well as editing steps or relocating steps.

Are there documented best practices on how to address this, e.g. linking multiple flows, recommended sizing for a single flow, etc.?

Release

All Versions

Resolution

There is no hard limit on the flow size [Actions, Logic, etc...]. One of the best practice is to create the flow in an application scope rather than the "Global". Scope matters for the flow performance
