Note: I will update this space as we have more information around this topic and official confirmation and Release Notes from Salesforce. Please tune in Later for lates updates!

TOP FLOW FEATURES ADDED IN WINTER 22 RELEASE SALESFORCE

1. SUB FLOWS IN RECORD TRIGGERED FLOW

This is a huge one and one everyone was waiting for. Now we can finally use Sub Flows in Record Triggered Flows. Now we can create better optimised and efficient Record Triggered Flows.

2. ABILITY TO ADD ASYNCHRONOUS PATH ON RECORD TRIGGERED FLOWS AND IN DEBUGGING TOOL

This is a huge addition to Record Triggered Flow capability. We can now add an Asynchronous Path to Record Triggered Flows. Basically, we can run the flow path Asynchronously after the original transaction for the triggering record is successfully committed.  This gives a huge opportunity for devs/admins to make the Flow more optimised and also handle large volume data. 

3.  CUSTOMISE THE SCREEN FLOW BUTTON LABELS

This was a long awaited feature. Now we can finally customise Footer Buttons on the Screen Flows Screens. 

4.  ABILITY TO DEFINE BATCH SIZES FOR SCHEDULED PATH IN RECORD TRIGGERED FLOWS

A great addition to scheduled Path Functionality to optimise the Flows and have better control to prevent Governor Limit errors. Now we can define batch sizes to run the Flow for a particular set or batch of records at a time and handle large volumes more efficiently. 

More about this Feature: Enter the number of flow interviews that this path can execute at the same time. The default is 200, which is the maximum, and the minimum is 1. 

For example, if the batch size is 2 and seven interviews are ready to run in the same time interval, they're grouped into four batches. Set a batch size smaller than 200 to improve performance and to avoid hitting Apex governor limits.

5. NEW OFFSET OPTIONS IN SCHEDULED PATH FOR RECORD TRIGGERED FLOWS (BEFORE AND AFTER MINUTES)

Now have better control of timings on Scheduled Paths as Salesforce has introduced two new options for MINUTES AFTER and MINUTES BEFORE . 

6. A NEW AND BETTER WAY TO CONFIGURE START ELEMENT IN THE RECORD TRIGGERED FLOWS

A new UI and options are now available to configure the Record Triggered Flows Start Element.

7. ROLL BACK RECORDS FEATURE IN SCREEN FLOWS

A new Element is now available for Screen Flows. It's a great addition to Screen Flow Capability

About this Element : When a flow runs, record changes are executed and saved to the database as part of a transaction. This element rolls back the current transaction and cancels all its pending record changes. To roll back changes based on business logic, add this element in a Decision element’s outcome. To roll back changes when an error occurs, add this element in a Fault path. To roll back all record changes in a transaction, add this element to the end of the transaction.

8. BETTER FLOW DEBUGGING FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS

Now we can debug Salesforce Flows for Asynchronous and Scheduled Paths. This is a great debugging enhancement and gives Flow Devs a good solid platform to test Flows.

Also, now we can see API names and Collapse/Expand all Flow Elements while debugging.

Well this was just a Quick Teaser of Latest Flow Features in Salesforce WINTER ' 22 Release.
