Version History
Full visibility into every change made to agent workflows.
Execution Status Taxonomy
A cleaner UI that makes it easy to see exactly what's running, what failed, and why — no guesswork, no digging.
Agent Update Warning

Workflow updates

Nested Workflows
Nest workflow agents inside other workflow agents to build more sophisticated, multi-step automations.
