Cylc |version| Caveats
======================

There are a few Cylc 7 features which do not yet have direct replacements in
Cylc 8. These features will be re-implemented in future releases.


Cylc Flow
---------

Multiple Flows
   The new :term:`scheduler` can manage multiple flows in the workflow graph.
   Commands and options for interacting with flows are still being refined.


Browser Based UI
----------------

The old "GUI" has been replaced by the new browser-based "UI".

Static Graph Visualization
   Not yet reimplemented for Cylc 8. As an interim measure the
   ``cylc graph`` command can generate a basic PNG image of a workflow
   graph if Graphviz is installed in the Cylc environment.

Multiple Selection
   Multiple selection is yet to be implemented, however, it is possible
   to issue action for multiple tasks (e.g. ``kill``) without using
   multiple selection:

   * From the UI click on a workflow/cycle/task/job.
   * Find the action you want to call (e.g. kill).
   * Click the pencil symbol next to this action.
   * Edit the workflows/cycles/tasks/jobs in the form and press submit.

Installing Workflows
   At present there is no way to view or install
   :term:`source workflows <source directory>` in the UI.
Rose Edit
   Rose Edit is awaiting reimplementation.
Xtrigger Visibility
   Xtriggers are not yet visible in the UI.

Documentation / Orientation Guide
   Some form of documentation will be provided within the UI itself.

   * https://github.com/cylc/cylc-ui/issues/155


UI Server
---------

CLI via UIS
   The ability to route Cylc commands via the UIS is planned for a future release
