Model Drafts

When you click the Deploy process button (1) in the buttons panel, the process will be deployed to the Flowable engine and will be available for starting. If you don’t want it to be deployed and just want to save the process to get back to it later, use the Save draft (3) button. To open a draft, use the Open draft (2) button.
