{% hint style="danger" %}
Flows can reference other rules via aliases. When exporting them individually, be aware that:

* The exported Flow will contain references to other rules by their aliases, **but not to the rules themselves**.
* If referenced rules are missing during import, the Flow may not work correctly.

{% hint style="success" %}
Export Flow rules together with their dependencies in a folder, or export the entire space to ensure all referenced rules are included.
