Versioning Workflows

Manage and track changes with ease with the power of workflow versioning at your fingertips

Workflow versioning is a critical feature that empowers users to manage changes, updates, and enhancements to their workflows with precision and control.

By creating versions of your workflows, you can ensure that improvements are made safely, test new configurations without disrupting ongoing operations, and easily roll back to previous versions if needed.

Version Statuses

Each version of a workflow within Looply is assigned a unique status, a fundamental aspect of our version control system.

When a workflow is in its Draft phase, it grants you the flexibility to freely modify and test your processes without impacting any operational Looply processes that utilise the most current version.

Upon finalising your adjustments, activating the workflow solidifies its status, thereby securing it against further modifications. Activation ensures that this particular version becomes the default for Looply processes configured to utilise the latest workflow version, maintaining system integrity and operational continuity.

For more information on triggering specific workflow versions see Triggering Workflows

Creating New Versions

You can get started creating a new version for your workflow by navigating to the latest active version, making some changes and then saving your workflow.

As the workflow is active, you will be prompted to confirm your changes and agree that a new version will be created in order to prevent potentially breaking changes to the existing workflow version. Once you have confirmed this, your workflow will immediately be versioned up and placed into Draft status to continue working on your changes.

Locking Versions

Once you have made the necessary changes to your workflow and are ready to go live, you can activate your workflow by clicking the Activate button.

This will prevent any further changes from being allowed on this version of your workflow and will ensure this version is now picked up as the latest.
