There are a few things you can do when editing a flow that you can't do when you're first creating it.

Creating a flow in Unito
When you create a flow in Unito, you’ll be guided through the process by our quick-start walkthrough.
You’ll learn how to connect your tools, choose your blocks of work, set flow direction, and more.
Flow options from the dashboard
After creating your first flow, you’ll find it — and any other flows you created — in your flow list.
Flows that haven't been finished will have their flow status set to Draft. You can click on Edit draft to resume the flow creation process and launch your flow.
But once your flow is launched, you’ll find that button replaced with Sync now. This lets you manually trigger a check for new and updated work items, during which Unito will sync any new changes.
Next to that button, you’ll find three little dots. Click on these to find options only available once you’ve launched your flow.
-
Edit: Make changes to any aspect of your flow, including flow direction, rules, and field mappings. You’ll also be able to access advanced options this way.
-
Duplicate: Want to create a new flow but don’t want to start from scratch? You can duplicate an existing flow to create a new one with the same initial rules and field mappings. Learn more about flow duplication.
-
Creation date filter: By default, a Unito flow will only sync work items created after the flow is launched. This is to ensure that you can test out your new flow without affecting any historical data.
