Is there a way I can use `version_group_id` instead of `flow_id` in my GQL query? I tried to simply swap out `flow_id` for `version_group_id`, but that’s giving me the following error

Silly me providing no context again, here it is:
```query {
  flow_run (
    where: {flow_id: {_eq: "[FLOW_ID]"}}
    order_by: {state_timestamp: desc}
    limit: 1
    offset: 0
  ){
    name
    flow_id
    flow {
      name
      id
    }
    logs {
      message
      created
    }
  }
}```

Also some follow up questions:
1. What is the difference between Flow Group ID and Version Group ID? I see that Flow ID changes between different versions, but both of the other ones have remained the same. 
2. Is it safe to share flow ids publicly?

Flow group ID is just for backward compatibility.
Yes it actually is

```query {
  flow_run (
    where: {flow: {version_group_id: {_eq: "e49fde24-f2b0-4b7d-a653-fabcd774ac67"}}}
    order_by: {state_timestamp: desc}
    limit: 1
    offset: 0
  ){
    name
    flow_id
    flow{
      name
      id
      version_group_id
    }
    logs {
      message
      created
    }
  }
}```

Amazing, that works great! I tried looking for documentation for things like this but couldn’t find any, did I overlook anywhere?

No….unless you wanna a GraphQL tutorial. I thought Hasura had one but I can’t find it now. I haven’t read any though, I think you just kinda pick it up. Sometimes though, I check the UI <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/ui/tree/master/src/graphql|repo> and see how a certain frontend page queries the backend
