Workflow Versions
About Versions¶
Every time you activate a workflow, a new version is created. This allows you to track changes over time and revert to previous configurations if needed.
Version Statuses¶
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Being edited, not yet published |
| Active | Live version responding to triggers |
| Deactivated | Previously active but manually stopped |
| Archived | Past versions kept for history |
Working with Drafts¶
When you edit an active workflow, your changes are saved as a draft. The active version continues to run while you work on updates.
Once you're done editing, you can:
- Activate: Publish the draft as the new active version (the previous version is archived)
- Discard: Delete the draft and keep the current active version

Best Practices¶
