Carl,

Hope all is well. I can’t see anything below “Example Scenario:” in your post. Was there more detail here?

Best,

Ben

Hello,

are there any more info on to do this, I cant see why you would need an example for this,

The question is can we close a pinned step after it has been added and if not please add that feature? 🙂

Hi,  
You can give it a vote:

> A process involves calling a flow fragment with a pinned user step. After completing the fragment, returning to the main flow retains the now irrelevant pinned step, potentially causing confusion. Pinned steps should close along with their parent...

But yes, it should have been done a long time ago.
