Assistant Building

A jump is a shortcut that allows the assistant to go directly from one part of the flow to another. For example, if a flow has multiple largely-separate sections for FAQs and troubleshooting, any nodes that connect between the sections can connect via jumps.
 
When following a jump, the assistant's behavior is the same as if it were following a normal connection between the two nodes, but using jumps can keep the canvas much cleaner and more readable. Jumps are labeled so you can get a good sense of where each path is going without needing to clutter the canvas with a lot of criss-crossing connection lines.
 
Additionally, you can right-click a jump to be taken to its target, so you can easily get to the relevant part of the flow wherever it is on the canvas.
 
Finally, multiple jumps can all go to the same target, so portions of a flow can easily be reused without drawing a large number of connections to the same point.
 
When you create a jump, you must specify whether to use an existing target or create a new one. If you use an existing target, you will only create a new jump start that leads to that same target. If you create a new one, you will create a matching jump start and target. You can then create new jump starts that reuse that new target.
 
While you can create arbitrary jumps and targets, there are also a few special jump targets that are built-in.
