A flow is represented as a tab within the editor workspace and is the main way to organise nodes.
Each flow can have a name, and description that is displayed in the Information sidebar.
All of the nodes in a flow can access the same flow-scoped context.
To add a new flow, either click the button in the top bar, or double-click on free space in the tab bar.

Within the dialog, the flow’s name and description can be set. The description can use Markdown syntax for formatting and will appear in the Information sidebar.
The flow can be enabled or disabled using the toggle button at the bottom of the dialog. If a flow is disabled, none of the nodes it contains will be created when the flow is deployed.
