Use auto layout

Checked by the Salesforce Flow scan. Severity advisory.

FL-034AdvisoryMaintainability

What it requires. Flows should use auto-layout rather than the freeform canvas. Auto-layout keeps element arrangement consistent, so the next person reads the logic rather than the drawing.

Why it matters. Freeform canvases drift into layouts only their author can follow, and reading time is maintenance cost.

How to fix it. Switch the flow canvas to auto-layout and confirm the arrangement remains readable.
