Classic vs. Connect Comparison Guide

As we transition from Flow Classic to Flow Connect, we want to provide a clear view of how features compare between the two platforms. This guide outlines which features are already available in Flow Connect, which are in development, and any improvements made along the way.

What You’ll Find Here:

  • A side-by-side comparison of Flow Classic and Flow Connect features

  • The status of each feature (Available, In Progress, Planned, Deprecated, Superseded)

  • Expected release timelines for upcoming features

  • Notes on enhancements or changes in functionality

This guide reflects our current roadmap and is subject to change as we refine our product based on customer needs and development priorities. Be sure to check back for updates!

Some features from Flow Classic have been renamed in Flow Connect to better align with their expanded capabilities.
