Describe the problem/error/question

Hello,

The UX is broken in all workflow, all nodes.

When I open a node then I can’t go back to the workflow to save my changes.

Below a 1min screen recording

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Hey Kevin, thanks for being in touch and apologies for this. What version are you using - may it be 1.17.0? We had a bug in the beta version for a short time that prevented users from closing the node details view. Updating to 1.17.1 should fix this.

Thanks! I could indeed fix by restarting the instance with the following advice from email Support:

In short you’d have to head over to n8n.cloud, change any of the settings, then hit Save changes for n8n to restart and fetch the latest ai-beta image. After the restart, you should again be able to close the node details screen.

Hope that can help if others are in this situation!
