What is Workflow Versioning in Conductor?

Workflow versioning is the ability to manage different versions of a workflow. This feature allows you to make changes to a workflow without affecting the existing version of the workflow that is already running or scheduled to run.

By default, the workflow version is set to 1. 

{
 "name": "NewWorkflow",
 "description": "Sample Description",
 "version": 1,
 "tasks": [//list of tasks ],
 "schemaVersion": 2,
}

Why is workflow versioning important?​

Workflow versioning is vital because it allows you to change a workflow without disrupting any ongoing or scheduled workflow executions. This is particularly useful when you want to make changes to a workflow that has already been deployed in a production environment.

How do I create a new version of a workflow?​

To create a new version of a workflow, you can make changes to your existing workflow and then save those changes by updating the version number.

How do I view previous versions of a workflow?​

You can view previous versions of a workflow from the Workflow Definitions page.

  1. Navigate to Definitions > Workflow.
  2. Click the required workflow.
  3. You can choose the workflow version to view your definition.
