Version Management

Every workflow in Apptor Flow is versioned. Each time you save, a new version snapshot is created. You can view the history, compare versions, and publish a draft to make it the active version.

Version States​

StateMeaning
DRAFTThe current working version — editable, not yet published
PUBLISHEDA version that has been published and is used by triggers and API calls

Only one DRAFT version exists at a time. Multiple PUBLISHED versions accumulate as history.

The Version Selector​

The version selector appears in the top bar of the Designer (next to the flow name). It shows the current version and its state — for example, v1 (DRAFT) or v3 (PUBLISHED).

Click the version selector to open a dropdown listing all versions:

  • The latest DRAFT version (if one exists)
  • All PUBLISHED versions

Each entry shows the version number and status badge. A checkmark marks the currently loaded version. Click any version to load it in the designer.

Saving​

The designer does not auto-save. Changes are held in memory until you explicitly save.

To save: Click Save in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+S.

When there are unsaved changes, the Save button is enabled. After saving, it shows "Saved" and becomes disabled until the next change.

What gets saved: All node positions and configurations, all connection types and conditions, workflow name and description.

Publishing​

Publishing promotes the current DRAFT to PUBLISHED status, making it the active version used by all triggers and API calls.

To publish:

  1. Save any unsaved changes (Ctrl+S)
  2. Click Publish (rocket icon) in the toolbar
  3. Confirm in the dialog

After publishing, the version status changes from DRAFT to PUBLISHED. A new DRAFT version is automatically created so you can continue iterating without affecting the published version.

warning

Publishing takes effect immediately. Webhooks and scheduled triggers pointing to this workflow start using the new version as soon as you confirm.

Version History Panel​

Click the Version History button (clock icon) in the toolbar to open the version history panel.

The panel lists all versions, newest first:

ColumnDescription

StatusDRAFT or PUBLISHED
Created ByWho saved this version
Created AtDate and time the version was created

To load a version: Click the eye icon (View) on any version row. The designer loads that version. PUBLISHED versions are read-only; the DRAFT version is editable.

Comparing Versions​

The Version History panel has a Compare mode:

  1. Click the compare mode toggle button in the panel
  2. Click a first version to select it
  3. Click a second version to select it
  4. Click Compare Selected

A comparison view opens showing differences between the two versions.
