Where do I activate my workflow?

There is no toggle on/off button and I have clicked everywhere to find it. I need to activate it. I am on trial mode. What do I do?

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

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

If you are using n8n version 2.0 or higher, the familiar “Active/Inactive” toggle in the top right corner has been replaced by a new “Publish” system to support version control.
