Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In Flow Builder, Run and Debug modes have distinct functionalities:

Run Mode:

Executes the flow as it is, allowing you to see the end-to-end execution based on the latest saved version.

Typically used to verify that the flow works as expected under normal conditions.

Debug Mode:

Provides detailed information for each step of the flow, including input and output data, and any errors encountered.

Useful for troubleshooting and identifying issues within the flow, allowing developers to understand how the flow executes and where problems may arise.

Debug mode is specifically designed to aid in diagnosing and fixing issues by providing a granular view of the flow's execution.

I’m pretty certain that Run mode is for active flows only, but I’m confused about what happens if the flow isn’t active.

I remember something about Run mode using the latest version of the flow, but I can't recall if it has any limitations.

I feel like there was a practice question about the differences between modes, and I think Debug mode is more for testing, right?

I think Debug mode shows you step-by-step details, but I'm not sure if it also lets you see errors in real-time.

Okay, I think I've got it - Debug mode is for testing and troubleshooting the flow, while Run mode is for actually executing the flow in production. The key is understanding when you'd use each one.

Run and Debug modes - got it. Debug mode is for seeing what's happening under the hood, and Run mode is for actually running the flow. I feel confident I can answer this.

Okay, I think the key distinction is that Debug mode provides more information for troubleshooting, while Run mode is for executing the flow. I'll make sure I have that right.

Debug mode sounds like it would provide more information to help troubleshoot any issues in the flow, while Run mode is just executing the flow without that extra detail.
