I've lost a workflow

[jameswright]

I have a self-hosted n8n environment that had a workflow setup. I’ve just gone to edit the workflow, and it’s empty.

When I click the “Executions” tab, I can see the last execution and the layout of the workflow.

I’m positive I didn’t delete the contents of the workflow.

Is there anything I can do to recover the workflow or do I have to recreate?

As you can imagine I’m a little concerned about recreating it if it’s going to disappear again.

I can’t see any log that might show how/why it was deleted.

Any ideas?

I found this thread…

Upgrade from 0.x.x to 1.x.x and all of the workflow is gone and disappear

Upgrade from 0.x.x to 1.x.x and all of the workflow is gone and disappear how can i find the previous workflow? Information on your n8n setup **n8n version: 1.x.x ** Database (default: SQLite): **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting default ** **Running n8n via (Docker) Synology **

I think my problem is similar.

I’ll just recreate the workflow for now.

Hi @jameswright, I am sorry you’re having trouble. This sounds unexpected, and it’d be great if you could describe the exact steps required to reproduce how your workflow disappeared so we can take a closer look.

That said, if you still have the last execution you can select your nodes on the canvas, then copy them using Ctrl+C and finally paste them into a new workflow using Ctrl+V.
