Possibility of Reusing Camunda 7 Documentation in Camunda 8

Hello, I am beginner for Camunda. And I’ve come here with some questions.For example, I’m looking to find some materials on using conditional in Camunda 8. But I found that the document for Camunda 8 is so short that I am confused with the concepts. And my questions are as follows:

  • Reuse Camunda 7: Is it reasonable to treat the Camunda 8 as a patch and modification of Camunda 7 documentation? If a concept is not introduced in the official documentation of Camunda 8,can I assume that it retains the same definition and feature as in Camunda 7? For example, I couldn’t find sufficient information about “Conditional” in documentation at Camunda 8 official documentation, and the parts found at BPMN refference seem more like conceptual descriptions that do not directly relate to Camunda. In this case, should I refer to introduction of “Conditional” in Camunda 7.20 at Camunda 7.20 .
  • More examples of code implementation: Just like with documentation, I also find myself in predicament of not being able to find information.I found a code repository in github. Could I assume they are the same, in the absence of any special declaration?

Hi @Dave_Maxwell - no, Camunda 8 is a ground-up rewrite. While some high-level concepts are the same, as both are process engines for BPMN models, the implementation is very different. You can see in the BPMN Overview for Camunda 8 that Conditional events are not yet supported by the engine.
