Versioning

FlowStack tracks changes to your automations so you can safely iterate and roll back when needed.

Flow Builder Versioning

Draft vs. Published

The Flow Builder uses a draft/publish model:

  • Draft — Your working copy. Edit freely without affecting the live automation.
  • Published — The version that runs in production. Only changes when you explicitly publish.

Workflow:

  1. Edit your flow (creates or updates a draft)
  2. Test the draft using Test Flow
  3. Click Publish to promote the draft to production
  4. The previous published version is archived

Viewing Version History

  1. Open a flow in the Flow Builder
  2. Click the Versions tab
  3. See a list of all published versions with:
    • Version number
    • Published date
    • Who published it
  4. Click any version to view its configuration

Rolling Back

To revert to a previous version:

  1. Open the Versions tab
  2. Find the version you want to restore
  3. Click Restore This Version
  4. The restored version becomes your new draft
  5. Test it, then Publish to make it live

Workflow Builder Versioning

Automatic Save

The Workflow Builder automatically saves your changes as you work. Every save creates a snapshot that you can return to.

Activation State

Workflows have an active/inactive toggle:

  • Active — The workflow runs automatically based on its trigger
  • Inactive — The workflow is paused and won't run (but can still be executed manually)

Deactivate a workflow before making major changes, then reactivate after testing.

Best Practices

  • Always test before publishing — Use Test Flow or Execute Workflow to verify changes
  • Deactivate before major edits — Prevents partially-edited flows from running in production
  • Use descriptive names — Name your flows clearly so version history is meaningful
  • Keep flows focused — Small, single-purpose flows are easier to version and debug than monolithic ones
