What is Workflow Switcher?
Workflow Switcher is a left‑sidebar tool in Advanced Builder that lets you jump to other workflows quickly. It surfaces your recent workflows and a quick search, then opens the selected workflow in a new browser tab so your current canvas stays put—enabling safe, rapid context switching while you build.
Key Benefits of Workflow Switcher
Stay in flow: Jump to another workflow without leaving your current builder tab.
Side‑by‑side editing: Open the other workflow in a new tab to compare logic branches easily.
Faster reuse: Copy/paste actions or branches across workflows for consistent, reusable automations.
Time savings: Avoid page reloads and re‑searching; get to your next workflow in one click.
Reduced error risk: Keep your current canvas intact while exploring another automation.
