## 8. Flow Inheritance

## 8.1. Introduction

Flow inheritance allows one flow to inherit the configuration of another flow. Inheritance can occur at both the flow and state levels. A common use case is for a parent flow to define global transitions and exception handlers, then each child flow can inherit those settings.

In order for a parent flow to be found, it must be added to the `flow-registry` just like any other flow.
