Workflow Management
Flow Studio provides a complete set of tools for creating, organizing, versioning, and sharing your workflows. From auto-save to collaborative locking, everything is designed to keep your work safe and accessible.
Auto-Save
Your work is saved automatically as you build. Flow Studio persists changes within 200 milliseconds of any edit, so you never lose progress -- even if your browser closes unexpectedly.
Versioning
Flow Studio maintains a version history for every workflow, letting you review or restore previous states at any time.
| Version Type | When It Is Created |
|---|---|
| Auto | Created automatically at regular intervals while you edit. |
| Manual | Created when you explicitly save a named version (useful before major changes). |
| Pre-execution | Created automatically just before a workflow execution begins. |
| Checkpoint | Created at significant milestones you define. |
Before making large structural changes to a workflow, create a manual version with a descriptive name. This gives you a reliable rollback point if the changes do not work as expected.
Creating Workflows
You can create a new workflow in several ways:
- Blank canvas -- Start from an empty canvas and build from scratch.
- From template -- Choose a pre-built template from the gallery.
- Duplicate -- Clone an existing workflow to use as a starting point.
Organizing with Folders
Workflows can be organized into folders for easy navigation. You can create nested folder structures, move workflows between folders, and rename folders at any time. This is especially useful when you have many workflows across different projects or campaigns.
Templates
Templates are reusable workflow blueprints. You can:
- Browse the template gallery to find pre-built workflows for common use cases.
- Save any workflow as a template to reuse your own proven pipelines.
- Share templates with your team for standardized content production.
Import and Export
Flow Studio supports exporting workflows as portable files and importing them back, making it easy to share workflows across accounts or back up your work.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Export | Saves the workflow (nodes, edges, and configuration) as a file you can download. |
| Import | Loads a previously exported workflow file into your workspace. |
Collaborative Locking
When multiple team members have access to the same workflow, Flow Studio uses a locking mechanism to prevent conflicting edits. When one user is actively editing a workflow, others can view it in read-only mode until the lock is released.
Collaborative locking ensures that two users never overwrite each other's changes. The lock is released automatically when the editing user navigates away or after a period of inactivity.
