@jodiem 3/3
The problem with performance that you're reporting is likely unrelated, as we're (so far) not hearing other reports of Flow slowing down in Winter '24. If you continue to have the problem after a couple of days, please reach out to me or open a case and we'll investigate.

There are a lot of Flow elements and we wanted to start deploying these new capabilities without having to wait until every element had been converted. That's why you're seeing a mix of behaviors in Winter '24. We'll finish the rollout in Spring '24.

@jodiem 1/3 Hi, Jodie. Over 2 releases, we're replacing the old popup with a slide-in. This has two benefits:
A) you can save in draft mode without having to complete everything. This saves a lot of work.
B) it prevents the canvas from being obscured by the modal, making work easier.

@mattandneil Hi guys. This is very cool stuff. Can you reach out to me at aedelstein at salesforce?

[Alex Edelstein @alexed1]

@Andrea_Beth11 Love that

@oryxspioenkop You’re living your best life, Oryx 😏

@mehansen82 Orchestration is actually a new Flow Type (Process Type), and an orchestration is technically 'just another kind of flow' with special processing and builder capabilities.

[Alex Edelstein @alexed1]

@mehansen82 Most likely it will involve an additional cost.

@jodiem On the roadmap. We want to first support more field types

@RobSalesforce @NotHackedJK I'd be interested in your thoughts on the utility of Flow Test Builder (https://t.co/lKxARXaOhe) . It generates Apex test classes for flows that can then be run as part of typical CI/CD automation.

@sfdcjunkie__c @RobSalesforce You lose your positions if you switch to autolayout mode but it isn't permanent until you save. We encourage saving as a new version if you think you might want to flip back to your old positions.

[Alex Edelstein @alexed1]

@AidanHarding @NimbusNinja @ca_peterson Totally agree. I believe that this pattern of driving code and heavy duty flows off of configuration generated by business users who just run some friendly flow wizard and punch in their config is the way the difficult "Push Appdev to the Bus. Users" will actually be realized.

@shannonsans Here's a written preview of the release: https://t.co/SSvkPYQYCg

@SteveMoForce Not out of the box. You need one of these in your org: https://t.co/USb7Bl9jpj It receives emails sent to a specific address and can then invoke a flow

I have posted my official version of the datatable component for Summer ’20 orgs. Check out https://t.co/0LHdOsCbAf for updated instructions, new see-it-in-action VIDEOS and links for installation and source code.

Last week I was afraid to do anything with flows. Now I’m sitting here smiling because this complicated flow I created is doing exactly what I want it to and I can’t stop smiling. Your wildest dreams are right on the other side of fear.

[Alex Edelstein @alexed1]

@shannonsans @CherFeldman Correct. the Send Rich Email extension works with Lightning Email Templates, and if you do a little field customization, you can use flow to temporarily save upstream flow data to the record associated with the email template to merge stuff in. https://t.co/5VuOIurHkd

@SForceDarKnight We haven't seen any performance degradation from Automatic Field Detection.
