Tell NiFi about your local registry instance - Go the controller settings for NiFi from the top-right menu - Select the Registry Clients tab - Add a new Registry Client giving it a name and the url of http://localhost:18080 Create a process group and place it under version control - Right click on the PG and select the Version menu - Select Start Version Control - Choose the registry instance and bucket you want to use - Enter a name, description, and comment Go back to the registry and refresh the main page and you should see the versioned flow you just saved Import a new PG from a versioned flow - Drag on a new PG like normal - Instead of entering a name, click the Import link - Now choose the flow you saved before You should have a second identical PG now. # Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1 based on your findings. Thank you for your time and effort to validate the release!
