What it is

Improvement

You can edit an existing flow as a draft, and the published version keeps running until you select Update flow.

Users

Anyone building automation flows can leave an unfinished flow and find the saved draft later by searching for its name on the Flows page.

Written from Atlassian's release note and checked against it automatically. Atlassian's original stays the source of truth.
