Is it possible to make flow based on an existing flow by simply copy and pasting the flow or saving

Is it possible to make flow based on an existing flow by simply copy and pasting the flow or saving it under another name?  I suppose I could crate a new flow from scratch but the only difference is tha the database table that is fed the information is a new table and a slightly improved design.

  • wm-thompson if you are not sure how to turn it on, hover over the flow, click the 3 dots next to it and select Turn on.

    wm-thompson yes just to go to the main page of your flow and click Save As. It will make a switched off copy of the flow but take you back to the flow you are coping from. So you need to go to your list of flows and turn on the copy then change it as necessary.

      Ok, I figured it out. You have to be on the level where all the flows are. Anyway, so I did a Save As and it created a new flow. Now, why does it appear all faided like this?
