Can I turn off a Flow while instances are running?

Posted on by Charles-v-D 280

Hi All,

 

I have an approval Flow (version 1) that is running. The main dashboards shows active instances running:1.JPG

 

I want to turn off this Flow as I want my users to only select my version 2 flow. I have option to turn off the flow:

When I do this, will the two active instances as shown in the first picture continue to run until completion or will they be terminated?

 

Thanks

 

Regards

Charles

    Turning off a Flow just stops the Trigger, it won't do anything to instances that are currently running.
