As a Stately Pro user, you can now auto-create machines from text descriptions with our new experimental feature, Generate flow. You can generate a flow for a new machine or use the flow description to describe how you want to modify your current flow.

Yet another new Pro feature for you this week: you can now lock machines to prevent accidental edits. Lock a machine using the lock icon button in the machine Details panel.

This week, the Stately team has been hard at work with even more bug fixes and improvements.

You can now choose to export state and event descriptions and meta fields with your exported code.

The Stately team has been doing a lot of live streams lately, covering the front-end, back-end, and everything new in the Stately editor.

Our new Learn Stately guidance got its own changelog this week, but there’s more that’s new to Stately.

We’ve just released a new way for new users to learn Stately. We know that the learning curve is one of the biggest challenges you face when adopting state machines in your teams. We’ve designed our Learn Stately guidance and accompanying tutorials to introduce the basic concepts of state machines, demonstrate how to build them, simulate them, export them to code, and implement them with the exported code.

This week’s headlines are that annotations now support markdown, and we’ve made many performance improvements!

We’ve recently launched a huge Stately release, and we covered it all (as well as some even newer features!) in our latest office hours live stream.

We have more fixes and improvements for you this week.
