Getting started guide and workflow validation
![Flows app getting started guide](/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fchangelog%2F2025-01-13-getting-started-guide.png&w=3840&q=75)
To make it easier for new users to get started with Flows, we've added a getting started guide that will walk you through the basic setup of Flows and creating your first workflow. The guide is powered by Flows and will be shown to everyone on their newly added Home page. We are planning to add more content to the Home page in the future, so stay tuned for more updates.
Workflow validation
We've added basic workflow validation when publishing a new version of a workflow. Now you get warned when publishing a workflow without a start block or with a block that is not connected to anything. This should help you catch some common mistakes before they happen.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where when a step in a tour block was deleted out of sequence, no new steps could be added
- Fixed a few text overflow issues throughout the app
- Fixed a bug where clicking on sidebar links right after logging in would result in a broken state
Post–Flows 2.0 release cleanup
This release is all about cleaning up and fixing bugs after the Flows 2.0 release.
- Tour-specific blocks now display built-in exit nodes when creating a tour block template.
- Added validation to environment key to make creating valid keys easier
- Workflow auto-save now retains focus on the field you’re typing in, so you don’t lose your place
Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue where the checkout link pointed to the wrong subscription plan
- Various small fixes and improvements following the Flows 2.0 release
Flows 2.0

What's new
We've completely rebuilt Flows, transforming it from a basic onboarding tool into a powerful platform for crafting fully custom in-app experiences. Here are the key features:
- Workflow: Create complex, multi-step experiences that span multiple sessions or even the entire user lifecycle.
- Tour: Step-by-step guides that lead users through processes.
- Custom UI components: Build and integrate your own UI components within Flows.
- Slottable components: Dynamically embed components into your application.
Read the full announcement on our blog.
How to migrate
Unfortunately, existing Flows cannot be automatically migrated to the new version. However, we’ve prepared a migration guide in our documentation to help you transition to Flows 2.0. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team is here to support you.
The old version of Flows will be shut down on March 31, 2025. Please ensure your Flows are migrated before this date. To ease the transition, Flows 1.0 usage will be free for everyone during this period.
PS: We've removed most of the old changelog entries, as they are not relevant after this release. You can still find them in the public GitHub repository.
New branding
To better reflect our mission and values, we've updated our branding. We wanted to reflect that Flows is a tool for builders to create anything they can imagine. We are excited to share this new look with you!
