9 9  The new Flow Designer used in Create is released! This is a significant improvement in our iPaaS Portal with the aim to update our technology stack but moreover to delight our users. After several iterations of internal validations and validation sessions with end-users, we have exposed this feature to all users. Below are some key notes that are important to know and to consider

11 -=== Improvements ===
11 +=== **Improvements** ===
12 12  The new Flow Designer implements an approach whereby components can be dragged into the canvas without any configuration setting changed. The right hand panel contains a new section called Alerts that helps users to remove all alerts from the flow created. Such as missing configurations, channels or mismatches. All of these alerts need to be resolved so that a valid flow can be pushed to Deploy.

20 +* **Alerts**
21 21  In this section, all alerts are displayed organized by component. Alert text should be clear to understand the issue and the component can be opened from that same location.

23 -* Resources.
23 +* **Resources**
24 24  In this section, all resources are displayed used by the flow. Resources can be added and deleted from this section, as well as download and viewed. Generated resources such as transformations and definition are also vieweable from here. Use the option Show generated resources to explore these.
25 25  
26 -* Support objects
26 +* **Support objects**
27 27  The support objects are no longer stored on the canvas, but displayed as a list in this tab. The interaction to add new support objects is also moved to this tab. Support objects can be edited from this tab as well. Please note that the interaction with the main canvas remains - selecting a support object will highlight the components in the canvas to illustrate where that support object is used.

29 -* Properties
29 +* **Properties**
30 30  The properties tab is also visible now and has been improved so that the values in Deploy can also be viewed. All values of all environments can be viewed - container level properties replicated are condensed into a single entry.

32 +=== **User interaction changes** ===
33 33  There are some small changes to consider compared to the old flow designer. Please take a moment to read these:
34 34  
35 35  * Multiple select. This option is still available, but you have to click the shift button while drawing the rectangle that holds the objects to select
36 36  * Zoom in/out. The mouse wheel or comparable options are available to zoom in and out into specific sections of the flow
37 +* Live preview. When moving components around, a live preview of the flow is displayed so that alignment becomes easier

43 -//__Prevent creation of deploy package on auto-saved version__//
44 -With the launch of our new flow designer and due to possible issues when doing a complete model upgrade, we will now make sure that flows that have no definitive version, as the last version can never become a deploy package. On top of that, we provide you with the necessary feedback to take action when such an event occurs. Effectively it means that a new version needs to be pushed to Deploy including the updates made to the flow.
44 +//__Set runtime field as first selected field on property level__//
45 +With this change, the runtime is the first field selected when copying a property. This way it is easier to select another runtime and propagate that property to that runtime as well.

51 -With this release, we have made several improvements for importing store items in Design, including a transformation. This will further bolster our offering on this.

53 -//__Unlock the capability to remove an event processor from Create of which an input or output topic is still used__//
54 -With this release, we have unlocked additional functionality under Create -> Settings that allows you to remove event processors of which an input or output topic is still used. This is on top of the standard delete behavior for event processors when both input and output topics can be removed.
