As your CloudFlow flows grow in complexity, keeping context about why a flow was built, what it monitors, and how to modify it becomes essential. Instructions live alongside the workflow itself — so the documentation is always where your team needs it, not in a separate wiki or document.

You can now write rich-text instructions directly inside your CloudFlow flows — making it easy for your team to understand what a flow does, how to configure it, and what to expect.

What's new

Every CloudFlow now has a dedicated README node visible at the top of the editor canvas. Click it to open a side panel that displays your flow's documentation, or click Edit to open a full markdown editor where you can write and format your instructions.

The instructions editor supports full Markdown, so you can structure your documentation with headings, bullet points, code snippets, bold/italic text, and more — everything you need to clearly explain your workflow's purpose and logic.

Link directly to nodes

Use the special $nodes["Node Name"] syntax to create clickable references to specific nodes in your workflow. When someone reads your instructions and clicks a node reference, the editor automatically navigates to and highlights that node on the canvas. You'll also get autocomplete suggestions as you type, so you don't need to remember exact node names.

Always accessible

• README node on the canvas — a dedicated node is always visible at the top of your workflow, giving you one-click access to the instructions panel
• Top bar menu — you can also open the instructions editor from the workflow's top bar
• Side panel — read your instructions without leaving the graph view, in a convenient slide-out drawer
