Flows and Application Scope

[Steve039]

I've started using Flow Designer as per the Fundamentals course recommendations, but I've seen a few places suggesting all flows should be created within an application scope and not global. Would anyone care to expand what the advantages are for this process, also if I'm creating a simple flow for a single form/process does it make a significant difference which scope it's created in?

Thanks all

If you create your flow and configuration of you development within the scope you can move those as bundles to other environments, It will increase the security of your application.

You can also created your flows in Global scope.
