The "Restore Workflow from History" feature allows users to effortlessly revert to previous workflow versions from the history list. This powerful capability ensures that users can quickly recover from mistakes or return to a more effective version of a workflow with just a few clicks, providing enhanced flexibility and control.
Workflow Modes
When viewing a workflow, there are two distinct modes:
- Current Mode: The standard editing mode for viewing and editing a workflow.
- History View: Activated when the user clicks the View Edit History button to explore past versions of the workflow. In History View, the user can navigate between saved versions using the next/back arrows. The workflow cannot be edited in this mode and is read-only.
