Can Steps in Flow Orchestration be executed in parallel?

Steps in Flow Orchestration can indeed be executed in parallel, allowing for greater efficiency and flexibility in automating business processes. This capability means that multiple steps can be executed at the same time, rather than having to wait for one step to finish before starting the next. This is particularly beneficial in scenarios where tasks are independent and do not rely on the completion of one another, thereby improving overall process execution time.

Furthermore, Flow Orchestration allows for a mix of both sequential and concurrent execution, which gives process designers the ability to tailor the orchestration of flows to meet specific business needs. This flexibility helps in optimizing workflows and enhancing the user experience, as it can significantly reduce wait times and process delays.

In contrast, the other options reflect limitations that do not apply to Flow Orchestration, as they suggest a strictly sequential process or conditions that do not align with the inherent capabilities of the orchestration features within Salesforce.
