After reviewing the PR, it’s become clear that integrating this feature into n8n will require more work than initially anticipated. This means, regrettably, I can’t provide a specific timeline right now for when folders will be available.
We fully recognize that this feature is a significant need for many of you, and we’re committed to addressing it. However, given our current team size and other ongoing priorities, it’s challenging to allocate the necessary resources immediately.
Please know that your feedback and needs are heard, and they play a crucial role in our development process. We’re actively exploring ways to make this feature a reality and will keep you updated on our progress.
Thanks again to @romainmnd for the fantastic effort in contributing a PR for the folders feature in n8n.
This is just a workaround, but it’s possible to filter for tags, sort the workflows, etc. Get your list how you want it, then open a workflow in a different tab. If I need another flow opened, back to the first tab and open that workflow. Bonus, if I want a different sort/view, I can build that in a different tab and have both views open.
This preserves the list we’ve painstakenly built, and let’s us edit.
before we can kick of the work on folders, we need to finish the work on advanced permissions which will lay the fundamentals of the architecture for folders and will enable users to create spaces/teams already. We’re planning to have the permissions work finished this quarter and will then likely follow up with folders next quarter. We’re trying our best to deliver these features as quickly as possible, but please don’t take these time estimates as promise as product work can always have unwanted suprises
Throwing my hat in here as well—this is a major enough gap that we may have to move off the platform if not resolved. We’re amassing so many automations that an inability to organize them more clearly has become a significant business risk.
