Hi there,

Newbie to Node-RED and very impressed by its smart design and implementation.

I don't figure how to _unsubflow_ i.e. how to convert a subflow back to nodes like ungrouping.

Thanks,  
Pierre

Highlight/select the nodes in the subflow and export(ctrl e) them, copy the flow json, then import(ctrl i) to a new flow tab. You can then delete the subflow if you wish.

It looks like a workaround, but it works. Thanks.
