Are there any plans to add the option to run a Cloud Workflow in Single Instance Mode, similar to what we can do with on-prem setups? This is incredibly helpful when we have a scheduled Workflow that refiles documents. Most times this Workflow finishes before the next scheduled Workflow starts but if there is a large amount of refiling, then it can run over. This scheduled Workflow can take anywhere from 1 minute to 4 hours depending on the volume of documents found in its search. We want to be able to set this to run every 30 minutes so it is keeping the environment up to date but instead have to design around the worst case scenario and thus run it every 4 hours. It would be great if Cloud Workflow could bring in some of these basic functionalities we've depended on for years in the on-prem version of Workflow.

There are currently no plans to implement running workflows in a single instance mode.
One workaround to achieve this behavior would be assigning a field value to a file and using that to determine whether or not the workflow should continue or end.
This example uses Find Entry, the Field Values from the entry, and a Conditional Decision to check whether to continue or end the workflow.
A schedule set to every half hour with this configuration will not see the workflow executing the logic simultaneously.
