I suggest adding different shapes
Flowcharts are comprised of decision, delay, hold, manual operation, inputs, document, etc step-shapes. These are missing and not every step of a process is a box-step.
Also, embed options or a way to merge it directly to Docuware Workflow designer.
Swimlanes look great! cheers!

I suggest adding a way to relate notes to tasks.
Having a way to connect a note to a task to make it clear that it belongs to a particular task. Maybe a bubble attached to the task or having a collapsible note below the task.

I suggest a "save as" button, or the ability to save as template for similar workflows.
I have three accounts with very similar scope and workflow. I want to use the last one as a template so I can save time building this.

Adjustable size of steps
As for the notes i am expecting the same behavior for the steps. Adjust the size of steps would help differentiating and helps avoiding unnecessary word wrapping.

The ability to drag a step to a new location and have the connecting line auto adjust position to keep the layout clean

mail notification and versioning

I suggest more flexibility with decision text
Right now the initial decision between steps does not allow for a description, also if you create additional decisions, you are not able to decide which decision has a text description etc.

A list of plans, shared with me
If a plan was shred with me, this one should be shown in a separate area. An I should be able to "register" a plan, where I only got a link but was not shared to my account.

I suggest to look from the Business and IT perspectives
Diagram looks very nice from the perspective of business users and I think we are going to the right direction. Please consider additional simple features listed below, that can really improve usability and encourage companies to use this tool in practice.

1. Adding simple Decision step which can show two types of flow: parrallel and alternatives
2. Allowing the loops betweean single business process steps
3. Three types of steps: User Activity, Decision Step and Interface Step ( showing intergations)
4. Define users and groups of users
5. Assigning users or a group of users to the User's…1 vote -
Text handling of the Descriptions at Steps needs to be improved
The space for more detailed information in the description box of a step is not enough. There should be offered a possibility to display the entire text and not just the abbreviated one.
