How do nodes upgrade or not upgrade themselves

Tried using using search but didn’t see an answer

I’ve got some older workflows kicking around that contain stuff I like to re-use as snippets in new workflows.

I’m not a coder by any means and have a 66 year old brain so those are probably the main reasons I do it this way :slight_smile:

Anyway, I eventually noticed when trying to debug a new workflow that the (in this case) Wikipedia tool was sitting at v1 and there was a new v2 version available when adding it manually.

I presume this is the case as I copied/pasted this older node.

Is there any process that tells me about old node versions?
Or being able to upgrade/update a workflow with new node versions.

There’s nothing obvious that I can see that tells me of older node versions.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.75.2
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Linux

True, this is something that’s lacking in the n8n interface.

For now, here’s a workflow that’ll go through your workflows and reports on nodes that have updates available:
