Node update

Questions
1

Hi all,

I recently discovered there are node versions.

I read on this forum the minor version updates (2.1 → 2.2) don’t have an impact on the workflow.
What about the major version updates ?

Also, do you know if there is a way to automate the node version update in a workflow ?
If not, is it planned in the N8N roadmap or the only way is to do it manually ?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Adrien

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

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

Same for me. I just discovered that if node has version 2.1 and I am trying to find out what are the diference from previous version but nothing… I like N8N but documentation is not as good and has to many issues when build complex workflows. I am wondering or evaluating if MAKE is better choice. I know that I have to pay for it, but I waste too much time for solving basics issues in n8n and that has a high cost… I

Hi @Adrien_Bruchon and @Adan_Palma
we don’t have an advanced management of node versions but hearing these needs from the community is useful to direct the evolution of n8n.

At the moment the document I refer to to check updates of nodes is the changelog on GitHub: Releases · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub

There’s also this template that you can use to check the versions of the nodes: Check if workflows contain build-in nodes that are not of the latest version | n8n workflow template

Not the best solution but I hope it can help
All the best

Thanks for your reply. The n8n comunity team is exceptional, please I dont misunderstand my words. I can not demand anything.

If i can, allow me suggest:

  • Include icon of node in the documentation of N8N, because some times i go to doc, I read but I am not sure if i am reading the doc for the node i am interesting in and I had to go worflow y check de node visually.

  • Move version text of node beside icon of node (could be)…

  • If posible explain a little better what improve in the new version of the node…

Thanks
