Hey @first_test !
Now as you can see is called “PUBLISH” next to your red rectangle, and a green checkmark.
Cheers!
edit: To “Unpublish” just go to the 3 dots

What changed in n8n v2
Old (v1.x)
- There was a clear Active / Inactive toggle in the top bar
New (v2.x)
-
Save ≠ Activate
-
Workflows must be Published
-
Triggers behave differently in Editor vs Production
That blue area you circled is NOT missing — it was intentionally removed.
HOW TO FIX IT (step by step)
You MUST click Publish
In v2, Publish = Activate
Top-right buttons:
-
Save → saves draft
-
Publish → makes workflow live
If you only click Save, triggers will NOT run.
Click Publish (not just Save)
and you will find unpublished when you click on the three point you will find it
