All my nodes reset to default (lost all parameters and system prompts etc)

Hi,

I’ve been working on a workflow in my account, I saved and exited like normal. But when I came back into the workflow, all nodes had been reset to default parameters etc., sticky notes had disappeared. There’s about two weeks worth of trial and error that have gone into that workflow and I was getting close to being finished, but now it’s all gone. How can I restore it to as it was about 40 minutes ago?

I’ve just gone back into my account and now that workflow has completely disappeared.

Details:

  • **n8n version:**Cloud 1.98.2
  • **Database: Default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Not sure
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Cloud
  • Operating system: Windows 11
    Timezone: (UTC+09:00) Tokyo

Have you tried to see Admin Dashboard > Manage > Export?

Thanks for the suggestion. I took your advice and exported the backups and got all excited when I saw the workflow in question appear in the zip file. However, when I recreated it from file in n8n, it was the version that all nodes had been reset to default…

Try to look at the ‘Executions’ tabs, maybe it will helping you to restore it

Thank you very much, I was able to get 90%+ of my work inside the nodes by opening the execution immediately prior to an error execution. Really appreciate your help - I’m a noob and still finding my way. :smiley:

No problem, I can’t tell you a noob when you are already having some workflow, you’re pro!
Good luck with your projects!
