## Explanation

The Main Flow of this Example Lab displays a Form with the current user email address. This Form has a Sub Dialog button that passes that information into a Sub Dialog Flow. This Flow takes in a name from the main Form and displays it in a new Form on top of the original. By default, Sub Dialog Flows have a ChangeData end step and a Cancel end step. The ChangeData outcome lets the user pass data back into the main Form, but in this instance, nothing is passed out.
