I’ve created an n8n workflow backup system with custom UI
"But wait – aren’t there already backup workflows available?"
Yes, there are dozens of backup workflows in the n8n template gallery. But here’s what they don’t give you:
No transparent observability - you can’t see what changed between versions
No commit-level granularity - just file dumps with timestamps
No visual diff tracking - no way to understand what actually changed
No team collaboration - can’t track who changed what and when
This is the first solution that gives you real version control with GitHub’s powerful commit history and diff visualization.
It runs entirely within your n8n instance – no third-party dependencies or credentials sharing.
Key features
Complete Commit History
View the complete commit history for each workflow - see exactly what changed, when, and who made the changes.
Flexible Import Options
Import workflows from GitHub as new workflows or replace existing ones. Choose latest version or import from any specific commit.
One-Click Sync Controls
Sync individual workflows instantly with one click, or add custom commit messages for better tracking.
Smart Workflow Organization
Instantly see which workflows are synced with GitHub, exist only in n8n, or only in your repository.
Automated Background Sync
Set up automatic syncing of all workflows on your preferred schedule - hourly, daily, or custom timing.
This template is perfect for:
- Engineers managing 20+ workflows who are tired of version control nightmares
- Teams needing proper collaboration without Enterprise licensing costs
- Agencies rolling out standard templates to multiple client instances
- Anyone who’s ever lost hours recreating a broken workflow
