- In the same way Multi-level branches can also be created. The Multi-level Branch Creation feature enables you to create branched Flows while creating the main Flow or attach an existing flow to the main Flow. This eliminates the need to create flows and then attach them to the main flow while creating it.
- The branched Flow is saved on your Dashboard and you can reuse the same Flow as a branch in other Flows.
- Once the branches are created, click Save Flow.
