Workflows — Undo/Redo & Change History

Modified on: Mon, 13 Oct, 2025 at 8:13 AM

Use Undo/Redo for quick step-by-step reversals, and Change History to jump back to any point in your current editing session. These tools help you experiment safely while following the same draft → publish model used across Workflow Builder. 


Overview

Undo/Redo rolls canvas edits backward or forward one step at a time, and Change History lists your recent actions so you can restore the canvas to an earlier state in a single click and then continue editing. 


What Undo/Redo tracks

Undo/Redo and Change History track canvas edits that Auto Save captures, including:

  • Add / delete / move nodes

  • Connect / disconnect paths

  • Enable / disable nodes

  • Auto-layout (Tidy Up) and other layout adjustments

Configuration edits inside an action/trigger form are not included


Change History → Recent Changes

The Recent Changes tab shows a chronological list of your latest eligible edits (e.g., adding/removing steps, reconnecting branches, enabling/disabling nodes).


Click any entry to restore the canvas to that exact moment; everything after that point is undone in one go. You can then redo forward step-by-step.

Change History — Recent Changes



How to use it (step-by-step)

  1. Make canvas edits
    Edit steps on the canvas

  2. Undo/Redo small tweaks

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd + Z to undo

    • Press Ctrl + Y or Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Z to redo

    • Or use the toolbar buttons

  3. Roll back multiple changes at once

    • Open Change History → Recent Changes

    • Click an entry to jump to that state

    • Continue editing or Publish when ready


Notes & limitations

  • Draft-only. Undo/Redo & Change History work when the workflow is in Draft. They are not available on Published workflows

  • Session-based. History exists only for your current editing session. If you exit or refresh, the history resets.

  • After Restore. If you restore a prior Version History snapshot, Undo/Redo resets and starts fresh from that restored draft.

  • Multi-editor. History is local to your session. If multiple users edit the same workflow, your Undo/Redo won’t include their changes; use Version History to review/rollback cross-session edits.

  • Performance. In very large canvases, you may briefly see a Saving… indicator before a change appears in the list.
