Workflow Versioning

Serval automatically tracks all published versions of your workflows, allowing you to view historical changes and restore previous versions when needed.

​
Viewing Workflow Versions

Once you’ve published changes to a workflow, you can access its version history by clicking the Latest version button next to the run button in the top right corner of the workflow builder.

  • Version numbers
  • Publication dates and times
  • Who published each version

Restoring Previous Versions

If you need to revert to an earlier version of your workflow, you can easily restore it:
  1. Click on the version you want to restore from the version history sidebar
  2. The selected version will load in the builder, and you’ll see a Restore button in place of the usual Publish button

​
Working with Restored Versions

When you restore a previous version:
  • A new version is created at the top of the version list
  • This new version is identical to the historical version you selected
  • You can either publish it immediately or make additional modifications before publishing

Restoring a version doesn’t delete or overwrite any existing versions. It creates a new version based on the historical one, preserving your complete version history.

Best Practices

  • Regular Publishing: Publish your workflow changes regularly to maintain a comprehensive version history
  • Version Notes: Consider adding descriptive names or comments to significant versions for easier identification
  • Testing: Always test restored versions before publishing to ensure they still work as expected with any system changes
