Hi @hateev.ar ,

Welcome to the community.

The button you are looking for is now changed to “Publish”

Hey @hateev.ar In the 2.x.x versions of n8n which are the latest have that ‘Active’ button removed, and now n8n’s workflow follows the PUBLISHING method , which means that your workflow should be PUBLISHED if you want it to automatically run tasks without manually triggering them, and also you can unpublish your workflows which you no longer use, and to do that you just have to click on those 3 dots on the top right and you will see the unpublish button.

In the 2.0 versions of n8n there are several other things which have also been adjusted, and what i found the main one is that when you try to make a multiple workflow automation and include several different flows, you have to make them publish for the main flow to be able to access those flows, else your complete automation wont work,

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers!
