My Workflow Accidentally Lost All Setups

[Dmytro_Kravchenko]

First, my workflow accidentally went into inactive state. I tried to activate it but I get 404 error all the time. I deactived some of nodes, pressed to activate and now I see everything is gone: all my code, http nodes setups, endpoints, etc – everything is empty.

Information on your n8n setup

• **n8n version:1.83.2
• **Database (default: SQLite):idn
• **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):main
• **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
• **Operating system: MacOS, Arc browser

Here is how you could try restoring your workflow:

1. Pick one of the previously saved versions of the workflow.
   
   

---

2. Use executions tab
   
   
   
   Pick latest execution where workflow looks ok.
   You have several options even here:
   (a) select all nodes then copy and paste (into a new workflow, I’d suggest)
   (b) download workflow JSON (and create a new WF from the dashboard using it)
   (c) use Copy to editor button

P.S. It might be also good time to automate regular backups, maybe even using a VCS like this.

I’ve copied entire workflow from latest successful execution. Now I get 404 once I try to activate workflow

I tried:

1. Logout;
2. Another browser

Solved:
Problem was with one RSS node – there was no error highlight over it when I tried to activate workflow. So I just turning them on/off one by one to find a wrong one.

It’s weird why it breaks whole my workflow data
