Hello,

I am new to Flow Designer

Just wanted to know, if there is any way to re-use an Update Record action from multiple steps.

I can easily do this in Workflow Editor by drawing the arrows. 

But can something similar be done in flow designer also?

Please guide.

The only way to do what you are looking for is to devise your If action carefully or you have to use a subflow.  But if you cannot do either of those then you are just going to have to have two actions.  Its one of the reasons why I only use Flows for simple things I need done and never for catalog items.

If that's the case @DrewW , then why is ServiceNow advocating flow designer over workflow editor? This is a very basic thing that should be there. 😄

Because thats what they want people to use because they want it to replace workflow sometime in the next 10 years.
