Hi, Almost every time I open a previously saved and published flow I get this message: ![Screen Shot 2020-09-02 at 3.08.17 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/e1d08496ca403910027225eb579d71d54e77b252.png) Do you know why I get this message? ---

Hey @maxkatz — this will happen whenever your draft flow has diverged from the one you published. So if you publish a flow and then, say, change a step’s settings or add a step in the builder, you’ll see this message (until you publish the updated flow with the updates). Does that make sense? ---

Yes, that makes sense. But I get this message on the main flows page. I click on this flow (from the main page): ![Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 8.59.07 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/a6e761ac0367e90e0bb6da89bfb009580bfbc928.png) and I get this message: ![Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 8.59.47 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/244692de7872841011339989003a308b454898ef.png) ---

Did you make any changes to the “Instant registration notification” flow after you published it? ---

I don’t believe I made changes but I will keep an eye on that. ---

It should only show if you’ve made changes, so let me know if that happens again and I can take a look! ---

Hey @maxkatz – I looked into this a bit more and it looks like you’re right, this isn’t always the most accurate message. We’re going to make some improvements to this soon. Really appreciate you flagging. ---

Thanks. What is causing this message to appear? ---

@maxkatz don’t have a great answer for you today, it appears there might be a bug in how we compute the difference between published and draft flows. hopefully will have more for you soon.
