Version history

ZBrain Builder provides a comprehensive versioning system that tracks all changes to your flows, ensuring seamless updates and easy access to previous versions. The version history interface enables you to edit, publish, and manage drafts without interrupting active workflows.

Understanding Flow versioning

1. Draft Mode

   • Drafts are editable versions of a flow where changes can be made without impacting the live, published flow.

   • You can make unlimited changes in draft mode before publishing your updates.

2. Published Flows

   • Once a flow is published, it becomes the active version used in workflows.

   • Published versions are locked and cannot be edited directly, ensuring stability for live processes.

3. Creating New Drafts

   • When you initiate edits on a published flow, ZBrain automatically creates a new draft version (if no draft exists) by duplicating the published version.

   • This allows you to make updates without altering the active version.

4. Accessing Previous Versions

   • ZBrain retains all published versions, enabling you to revert or reuse older configurations as needed.

   • Select a previous version to create a new draft for further modifications.

Visual indicators in version history

The version history panel provides clear visual cues for distinguishing between draft and published versions:

• Draft Version

  • Represented with a pencil icon next to the version timestamp.

  • Indicates that the version is currently in draft mode and available for editing.

• Published Version

  • Represented with a green checkmark icon next to the version timestamp.

  • Indicates that the version is live and in use within workflows.
