Flow Versions
Watch & Learn
What Is a Version?
A version captures a snapshot of your flow at a specific moment. By naming and saving a version, you can roll back to previous states, compare changes, or promote any snapshot to be your current working flow.
Before we dive into managing versions, it’s worth understanding the “save” actions in the builder and how to create a new version.
Your flow is auto-saved at regular intervals. However you can also click the Save icon in the header strip at any time to save manually.
Clicking on the “Save” icon opens a two-option menu:
- Save Version — which lets you store a new version of your flow under your chosen custom name.
- Save — which stores the canvas’s state at that moment.
Why is saving versions important?
Regularly Saving Versions after major milestones makes experimenting safe and lets you recover any state with a single click, so better make it a habit.
Also, be sure to give your versions unique and meaningful names, so you can easily recognize what’s in them.
This will enable you to Instantly roll back to any named snapshot as well as let you move freely between iterations without losing work.
Creating a Version
Creating a version is really easy. All you have to do is:
Click on the “Save” icon in the header
When a small menu opens choose “Save Version”
Give this version a unique name and save
- Please note that Save Version merely creates a snapshot—it doesn’t publish it. To make that version live, open the Versions modal and click Go Live on your newly saved version.
Versions Screen
Access the Versions modal by clicking Versions in the header strip. Here you’ll see every version you’ve created -and tools to manage them.
The screen contains the following:
Current Version strip
This yellow-highlighted strip represents the live state of your canvas. Even if you haven’t “saved a version,” your work is constantly updating here.
Identifiers
yellow icon + “Current” label
Version Name
if you’ve promoted a saved version, its name appears here
Last Updated
timestamp and whether it was auto-save or manual
Go Live
button that publishes the current state.
Two important things you need to know about going live:
- Going live also creates a new version automatically.
- You can only publish the current state (in the current strip”).
so if, for example you want to make a specific version live, you will need to promote it to “current” before pressing on “go live”.
Live Version strip
Once a flow Goes Live, a green strip appears below the Current strip, showing the version that’s running in production.
This strip contains:
Identifiers
green icon + “Live Now” label
