File

A Flow is a collection of everything on the canvas, and all configuration settings for its nodes. It refers to the associated .flx file where all these settings are saved.

Flows are opened and saved using the File menu.

Creating a New Flow

Select the "File > New" drop-down menu option or use the Ctrl + N hotkey combination to create a new flow.

This will clear the entire canvas, allowing you to create a new one. By default, the flow is named "Flow1.flx".

Saving a Flow

Select the "Save" button or use the Ctrl + S hotkey combination to save a flow in the "Save As" dialog.

Select the "File > Save As" drop-down menu option or use the Ctrl + Shift + S hotkey combination to rename the flow.
