## Describe the issue/error/question

I´m looking for the execute workflow node in the latest n8n version and can’t find it. Has it been moved merged?

> **[Execute Sub-workflow | n8n Docs](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.executeworkflow/)**
>
> Documentation for the Execute Sub-workflow node in n8n, a workflow automation platform. Includes guidance on usage, and links to examples.

## What is the error message (if any)?

## Please share the workflow

```auto
(Select the nodes and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow respectively)

```

## Share the output returned by the last node

## Information on your n8n setup

- **n8n version:latest**
- **Database you’re using: SQLite)**
- **Running n8n with the execution process [own(default), main]:**
- **Running n8n via [npm]:**

Hey @Kool_Baudrillard,

Good spot, I can’t see it either. I have raised this internally to see if anyone knows what has happened.

Hey @Kool_Baudrillard,

It is marked as urgent in our internal ticket system (tracked as `ADO-404`) so it should be fixed fairly soon. You can still use the node if you copy / paste it from another workflow. While not ideal you can copy the node below and paste it into your workflow if needed as well.

Hey @Kool_Baudrillard,

What does the workflow look like? I gave it a test on my install and all was good.

Hey @Kool_Baudrillard,

So that error could be coming from the workflow it is running, Have you tried a simple workflow with just a set node in it to see if that works?

Keeps spinning, workflow is activated, no data incoming.

i had really a hustle to set up workflow like this and finally managed it. right now something seems to be broken, could aswell be on my installation.
