Using task flow not only for dev purposes

[pmscorca]

Hi,

I'd like to understand better the use of a task flow not only for dev purposes.

It isn't an "operational" item, it represents a visual aid to organize the data flow, from the sources to the presentation layer.

I think that a such object could be useful also for a UAT phase, to propose again into a test environment.

Could it be useful also for the end-users in a prod environment?

Perhaps also the task flow could be deployed as other operational items (lakehouse, pipeline, dataflow gen2, notebook and so on).

Any comments about this subject? Thanks

Hi @pmscorca,

According to Microsoft documentation, Task Flow in Microsoft Fabric is a visual feature designed for documenting and understanding workspace structure. It does not perform or deploy data processes and cannot substitute pipelines or other operational tools. Task Flows can be exported and imported for reuse in UAT, but only serve as manual documentation, not for CI/CD. In production environments, they are primarily intended for architects and support teams rather than business end users.
