(I was advised to list my earlier question as a feature request here: Viewing what has changed between workflow saves )
The idea is:
At the moment, it seems that the only option when comparing two states in a workflow’s save history (or execution history) is either to visually compare the workflows, which doesn’t show any changes within nodes (eg a modified SQL statement) and can be easy to miss small flow changes; or to download the workflow JSON and to diff on that, which is non-ideal for a lot of reasons.
I think it’d be useful if I were able to select two save states and n8n would highlight the nodes and connections that had changed (perhaps in a different colour?). That way I could see very quickly any differences between the two.
My use case:
- Spotting accidental changes that may break a workflow before deployment
- Reviewing a colleague’s changes to a workflow
- Debugging why one item in the execution history worked but another didn’t (perhaps because someone changed the workflow)
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
- It would save a lot of time either visually flicking between two tabs or downloading the JSON file and running it through a diff utility.
Any resources to support this?
