How to edit an existing scenario in Scenario Builder?
Scenario Builder is a new module that replaces Scenario Dialog. This guide helps you make changes to a scenario and publish them.
When you need it
- You need to update message texts.
- You need to add new nodes or sections.
- You need to fix the logic of transitions between nodes.
What you need to know
- Concurrent editing — if another user edits the same scenario, publishing may be blocked. If an administrator has enabled co-editing, you can work in parallel in different sections — see How to edit a scenario together with colleagues.
- Version history — every time you publish, a new version is created that you can restore.
- Auto layout — a button in the toolbar aligns nodes by execution flow.
