Playbook Custom Activity - View Subflow Output

I am playing with process automation designer. Reviewed the Now Learning courses and some youtube content.

 

I have created a new custom activity that calls a sub flow and the flow generates an output value. How do I view / consume that output on the calling activity or another subsequent activity? 

 

I also notice this particular activity is not visible on the playbook view; is this because it's an automation that occurs in the background? If so my above question applies - how to now if said automation was successful?

I have figured out that adding an Activity Experience value on the Activity Definition record displays the activity on the playbook:

Now to figure out how to consume / display the output from the sub flow triggered from this activity?
