# Platform 6.1.0 feature announcement

> Highlights for the Platform 6.1 feature release.

Platform 6.1.0 introduces Canvas Data Mocking and Debug Mode, which transforms how you test and debug workflows. As our first minor version release since adopting semantic versioning, Platform 6.1.0 demonstrates our commitment to delivering valuable enhancements while maintaining backward compatibility with existing Platform 6 deployments.

For a complete list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes, see the [Platform 6.1.0 release notes](/itential-platform/release-notes/changelog#610).

## Featured improvement

### Canvas Debug Mode

Transform workflow testing with an isolated environment that simulates execution without external dependencies. Canvas Debug Mode replaces time-intensive manual stub tasks with sophisticated simulation capabilities.

**Key capabilities:**

* Mock task behavior with reusable data that replaces real system responses
* Create debug scenarios for different test cases and execution paths
* Monitor debug results directly in Operations Manager
* Store mock data separately from workflows for reuse across projects

Test error conditions, validate data transformations, and verify conditional logic without impacting live systems or requiring complex test data setup. By simulating workflow inputs and task outputs, you can test and debug workflows predictably without external dependencies.

**Best practices for Canvas Data Mocking:**

* Create scenarios that cover different execution paths (success, error, failure)
* Use realistic data values that simulate real-world execution
* Test all conditional branches and error handling paths
* Verify data transformations work as expected

## Technical requirements

**Prerequisites:**

* Platform 6.1.x installation
* WorkflowBuilder `engineering` or `admin` role
* A workflow with configured tasks

## Getting started

Open any workflow in Platform 6.1 Studio and click **Debug** in the titlebar. From the Debug Configuration Panel, create new scenarios and configure mock data for your tasks. Run scenarios to validate workflow behavior and monitor results in Operations Manager.
