The flow inspector, introduced in 2021.10, allows administrators to easily figure out how custom flows work, inspect the current context and debug issues.
:::info
When running a flow with the inspector enabled, the flow is still executed normally. This means that for example, a `user_write` stage will _actually_ write user data.
This is the currently planned next stage. If you have stage bindings configured to _Evaluate when flow is planned_, then you will see the result here. If you however have them configured to re-evaluate (_Evaluate when stage is run_), then this will not showup here, since the results will vary based on your input.
Shown is the name and kind of the stage, as well as the unique ID.
## Plan history
Here you can see an overview of which stages have run, which is currently active, and which is planned to come next. Same caveats as above apply.
## Current plan context
This shows you the current context. This will contain fields depending on the same, after an identification stage for example you would see "pending_user" be set.
This data is not cleaned, so if your flow involves inputting a password, it will be shown here too.
By default, the inspector can only be enabled when the currently authenticated user is a superuser. When running authentik with debug-mode enabled, the inspector is enabled by default and can be accessed by both unauthenticated users and standard users.
