Undo or Redo Edits​

To undo an edit, click Command + Z.

Changes cannot be undone or redone if the step that the change targets has been replayed.

Verify Edited Workflows​

When you've finished making changes, click Restart to verify the workflow.

If a workflow is verified, a green check appears to the left of the workflow name. If you edit a verified workflow, the workflow changes to unverified, and the green check changes to a red icon.

If no errors are encountered, the workflow is automatically verified and saved.

If one of the edits introduces an error, the replay will stop and highlight in red the line that contains an error. Edit the workflow and click Restart or Continue.

note

Workflows that haven't been verified in the Editor before (such as older workflows) are marked as unverified when they're next opened in the Editor.

Manage Workflow Versions​

  1. Click Versions to view each version of the workflow.
  2. Hover the row of the version you'd like to revert and click Restore as latest version of the workflow.
  3. Optionally, you can instead click the row for the version you want to review or revert to. The contents of that version appear in the the Editor.
  4. Make the desired edits or reversions to the selected version.
  5. Click Restore to make this version the most recent version, or click Save As to save this version as a new workflow. Give your new workflow a name, then click Submit.
