The Pop-up appears before the steps in a Flow start appearing. For example, instruct users to keep particular information accessible before running a Flow to prevent any interruptions. Achieve this use case by adding the **wfx_play_as_popup** tag, either in the Studio while creating a Flow or on the Dashboard after Flow creation. > [!WARNING] > Note > > - The Flow Title and Description appear in the Pop-up. > - The Flow information Pop-up does not appear if the Flow is attached to a Pop-up.
