Open the Hello World ReadyFlow as a template for your draft

Learn how to create the Hello World ReadyFlow as a starting point for your custom flow in the Flow Designer.

ReadyFlows are read-only, therefore you cannot publish a new version of them. When you are done with creating your customized version of the given ReadyFlow, you can only publish your work to the Catalog as a new flow definition.
