The transformation flow panel serves two purposes:
Click on a blank part of the transformation flow builder canvas to view details of the overall transformation flow. This will display its run logs, and activity stream.
The run logs display the status of each of the steps, along with other execution information. You can click on one of the records to view the errors tab of the selected step.
Click on the Activity Stream tab to view all collaboration activities associated with this flow. For example, the following screen will be displayed:

Users can directly perform data transformations on a selected field through this tab. Using the menu on the field, different types of transformations can be made to it.

Once carried out, these transformations will appear within the Transforms tab.

Whenever a new field transformation is applied to the data (either through the menu on the data preview panel or in the fields tab) a new Transformas tab will appear in the step configuration panel. Every transformation is recorded here, so you can always go back and view the changes you’ve made to the content. Here is an example:
