Hi @Yiyun333, technical review is done, it is ready for tech writers' review.

URLs are not supported for microflows that have non-persistable entities or lists as parameters.

I think we should be more forceful here about the constraint. Maybe add this info alert:

{{% alert color="info" %}}
Page and microflow URL patterns must be unambiguous. If two patterns could match the same URL, the runtime has no way to resolve which one to open. For recommendations on structuring URLs and resolving conflicts, see [Page and Microflow URLs](/refguide/general-best-practices/#page-and-microflow-urls).

Mendix does not recommend configuring page URLs for pages that are displayed as a pop-up. Navigating to such a URL will result in layout issues.
