Source notes citing this source

• Webex Contact Center subflows offer a Propagate changes to all flows setting, so an edit to a shared subflow can be pushed into every flow that uses it. in context
• Webex Contact Center supports applying version labels such as Dev, Test and Live to a flow and selecting a labelled version at the entry point, enabling blue-green style promotion. in context
• Subflows have a 'Propagate changes to all flows' setting; disabling it before editing a subflow prevents a change in that subflow from automatically disrupting every parent flow that consumes it. in context
• Flow Designer supports Dev, Test and Live version labels for development, staging and production, and the label a contact runs is chosen at the Entry Point. in context
• Cisco's Flow Designer blog describes publishing new work with the Dev label and attaching that Dev version to a test entry point so production calls are not affected. in context
• The blog says the version label in use is chosen at the entry point and applies to every contact arriving on that entry point. in context
• The blog's final stage promotes a flow to production by assigning the Live version label. in context
• Cisco's blog presents flow versioning as enabling blue-green deployments with rollback to previous versions without downtime. in context
• The blog's next stage promotes a tested flow to the Test (staging) environment by applying the Test version label. in context
• In Flow Designer, promotion appears to happen by publishing a version again with the next label added, not by editing a label on an existing version. inferred in context
• Flow Designer lets you apply version labels such as Dev, Test and Live to a flow to support blue-green style deployment. in context
• Cisco positions flow version labels as enabling a pipeline-driven promotion process from development to production, including blue-green deployments of flows. in context
• Cisco describes the Dev label for development, Test for staging validation and Live for production. in context
• The help article says subflow changes reach a main flow only on republish, and the 2024 blog describes a Propagate setting that cascades changes; the likely reading is that propagation controls whether consumers are republished automatically, but the sources do not say so. inferred in context
• A subflow setting named Propagate changes to all flows cascades a subflow change to all parent flows that consume it. in context
• Disabling Propagate changes to all flows when changing a subflow keeps that change from disrupting every flow that consumes the subflow. in context
• A published subflow appears as an activity that can be placed on a main flow canvas. in context
• Cisco gives business hours checks, common queue treatments and common HTTPS API calls to external services as examples of logic suited to subflows. in context
