Differences between Template Sub-Flow & Regular Sub-Flow

The Flow/Rule are reusable, such why there is a Template function when building Flow ? What are the differences between the Template Sub-Flow and the Regular Sub-Flow ? For example: Main Flow #A including Sub-Flow X Main Flow #B including Sub-Flow X If Main Flow #A and Main Flow #B happened running concurrently, there would be no issue, no confusion, no cross data for Sub-Flow X right ?

  • The "Template" feature allows a user to save a set of steps in a flow to be reused in other flows if the logic is applicable. 

    A Template Flow, however, is entirely different. Within Decisions, you have the ability to create Runtime Selection flows (see documentation below). A Template Subflow is part of the necessary logic for implementing runtime selection flows, and are in no way related to the "Save as Template" functionality in the flow designer.

    And no, running two separate flows concurrently that utilize the same subflow does not "cross data" between the two separate instances of the subflow running.
