How to keep my execution while i edit my workflow?

[Paul_Yeo]

Hi All
I had spend many credit to EvelenLabs to capture execution as below :-

with the above execution , i wish to keep using the execution modify my workflow , can some one teach me how to save the executions ?
As i notice the following behavious : -

1. when i try to duplicate the existing workflow to new workflow , the execution file go missing.
2. when i try to delete AI agent , the execution file gone missing.

in case the execution file gone missing , i need send $ to Eleven Labs again. in order to get new execution file. which is very costly to me.

Hope some one can advise me.

Hi @Paul_Yeo

I think you need to take a look at the Data Pinning feature

[HadiAbu]

Have you tried pinning the data?

When openining the node, There is an icon at the top left which allows you to reuse the same execution data for different work flow runs.

It is similar when you open the executions tab and click on “copy to editor” option (in the sense that it pins your data).

As for duplicating workflows and expecting to duplicate the executions, i do not believe there is this option in n8n. duplicating the workflow and starting a new one, only copies the nodes and not it’s data or execution history.

Hope this helped

@HadiAbu i am unable to locate the pin the data.

i can only found “copy to editor” , due to i want to save cost , i host at repo cloud. can share with me how to reuse by pin ?

When you double click on any node you want the data to be saved.
the edit node view comes up (your second screenshot)

You need to be in the edit mode (not the execution mode) in order to pin data after you test it.

Steps:

1. in edit mode/testing mode (not executions view)
2. test workflow once with real data.
3. go to the node that you’d like to keep the data.
4. double click the node
5. top right corner of the screen there is a pin icon
6. click to reuse the data for every new test run

this is the view you should get after you click it,
