Version History

Browse, restore, and name saved versions of a workflow.

View as Markdown

Every workflow keeps an automatic version history. Solaris AI Flow snapshots your graph as you work and before risky changes, so you can look back at what a workflow used to be and roll back to any point.

This is separate from marketplace version updates, which track the versions you publish for buyers.

Opening version history

Click the clock icon in the editor's top toolbar to open the Version history panel. It's available once a workflow has been saved at least once.

Each row shows how many nodes and edges the version had, when it was captured, and a badge for its type. The version that matches your currently saved workflow is marked Current. If you have unsaved edits, nothing is marked Current and a note reminds you that your live edits aren't in history yet, they're captured on the next save.

Types of versions

A snapshot stores the full graph (nodes, edges, and viewport) plus the workflow name at that moment. There are three types:

  • Auto - captured automatically as you edit. Edits are grouped, so a long editing session leaves periodic snapshots rather than one per change. Your most recent ~30 auto-versions are kept; older ones drop off.
  • Milestone - a safety snapshot taken automatically before a big change: before an AI (Copilot) edit ("Before AI edit"), before restoring a version ("Before restore"), before pulling a marketplace update ("Before pull update"), and after each run you start ("Ran", see below). Your most recent ~50 milestones are kept.
  • Named - a checkpoint you name yourself. Named versions are permanent and are never removed automatically.

Run checkpoints

Each time you run a workflow whose graph has changed since your last run, Solaris AI Flow saves a "Ran" milestone capturing the version you ran. This gives you a reliable "take me back to what I last ran" point, even after you keep editing.

  • Running again without editing won't pile up duplicates - a checkpoint is only added when the graph actually changed.
  • This covers runs you start - the Run button in the editor, Run on a row in the Workflows list, or running a single trigger now. Scheduled (cron) and webhook-triggered runs are not checkpointed.

Restoring a version

Select a version and click Restore. Before it swaps in the older graph, your current canvas is saved as a "Before restore" milestone, so a restore is always undoable.

Restoring is careful about the things a raw graph swap would otherwise break:

  • Webhook URLs are preserved. A trigger that still exists keeps its live URL. A trigger you had deleted and then restored gets its original URL back, so links you've already shared keep working.
  • Scheduling is re-derived from the restored triggers to keep cron and webhook state in sync. Like saving, restoring never turns a schedule on by itself, enabling a schedule stays an explicit action.

Naming and deleting

  • Name a version to promote it to a permanent Named checkpoint, it won't be removed automatically. You can rename it later.
  • Delete any version you no longer need from its row.
