Import a Flow without overwriting the current Flow

When importing a Flow, the imported Flow overwrites a Flow with the same artifact ID. 

If you want to keep your current Flow when importing a Flow with the same artifact ID, before importing, create a clone of your current Flow. After the current Flow has been cloned, you can safely import a Flow and overwrite the original.
