See also the Elsa 3.0 Release blog post.

Known Issues & Limitations

• Documentation is still a work in progress.
• The designer is not yet fully embeddable in other applications; this feature is planned for a future release.
• C# and Python expressions are not yet fully tested.
• Bulk Dispatch Workflows is a new activity and not yet fully tested.
• Input/Output is not yet implemented in the Workflow Instance Viewer.
• Starting workflows from the designer is currently supported only for workflows that do not require input and do not start with a trigger; this is planned for a future release.
• The designer currently only supports Flowchart activities. Support for Sequence and StateMachine activities is planned for a future release.
• UI input validation is not yet implemented.

Migrating from Elsa 2

Elsa 3 is a complete rewrite and not backwards compatible with Elsa 2.
As a consequence, migrating to Elsa 3 means manually porting over your workflow definitions, instances and custom activities.
Guidance will be provided in written form to highlight some of the more common differences between Elsa 2 and 3 to help understand how certain scenarios done in Elsa 2 should be handled in Elsa 3.
