Cool n8n Hack - Multiple n8n Tabs

Tips & Tricks
1

Hey all, just a little fun hack I figured I’d share with those who have MULTIPLE n8n implementations (Ex. You have your own n8n and then a client’s n8n).

I realized that I can COPY from MY n8n implementation (Ctrl+C) and then PASTE into another n8n implementation in a DIFFERENT TAB AND SERVER!!

So imagine you’re safely working on a client solution on your own n8n server so that no live client data is used. You figure things out and then instead of having to DOWNLOAD JSON and then UPLOAD and reset everything, just simply copy and paste the nodes into the other tab for the customer.

Its a pretty neat trick and I’ve been using it a lot when working with several client installations :slight_smile:

Hope this cool tip/trick helps others out there :slight_smile:

Hi @SolomonChrist

Nice that you found the feature and like it.
It is not limited to copy pasting between tabs. You can paste it anywhere. It is just a json that you are copy pasting.
So you can also use it to paste parts of a workflow to reuse or to use as a quick dev duplicate.
Or for quick backup in a text file of course.
