Add resources to a flow

Resources are additional files used to supplement flows and produce results to match a flow use case. Resources added to CONNECT flows are maintained in the Resource library and are generally available to all flows. You can access the Resources library from either Flow manager or Flow Studio to add new resources to the environment. Only published resources (or resource versions) can be archived.

Note: Resources can also be added to a module instance within a flow through module settings. To add a resource, users must have permission to manage resources. However, all users have access to existing resources when they create flows.
