The idea is:
Add the ability to display the last modification date for each node within a workflow. (Not core node version but modification version of user)
My use case:
When working with multiple n8n instances (e.g., development and production), it’s easy to lose track of which nodes have been updated. For example, after making changes in the dev environment, I might forget to sync those updates to production. By showing the last modified date directly on each node, I could quickly verify whether workflows are in sync between environments. This feature would also be useful when collaborating with clients or team members, as it provides quick visibility into what has changed and when.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
Currently, there’s no straightforward way to know if or when a node was last updated. This often leads to confusion and missed migrations between environments. A visible last modification date would help users—especially workflow creators with complex/advanced workflows—track changes more easily and reduce the risk of accidentally running outdated workflows.
Any resources to support this?
Are you willing to work on this?
This is a core UI feature and would likely require changes to the frontend codebase.
