When making changes to flows, it’s important to be able to maintain different versions and roll back changes if needed. Users want to ensure their production flows remain unaffected while making updates.

How it works

In Parabola, managing different versions of your flows is made simple using the Draft flow feature. This allows you to edit a draft version of your flow without interrupting the active version (the published version that can run) until you’re done editing. Using Draft flows:
1
Create a draft version of your existing flow by navigating to the published flow page and clicking the “Edit draft” button in the top left. You will be presented with a dropdown menu to either “Continue existing draft” or “Replace with a new draft” (which replaces the current draft with the published version).
2
Make your desired changes and updates in the draft. Remember, these changes are safe to work on as they won’t affect the active flow until published.
3
Test the draft flow to ensure it works as expected. This step ensures that all changes perform correctly before going live.
4
Once satisfied, click the “Publish flow” button located on the top right of the editor to replace the existing published flow with the updated draft. Your edits are now live.
This approach enables you to maintain a working production version while simultaneously developing and testing changes in a separate draft. Once you’ve built and published a flow, you’ll gain access to the flow’s published version, which can be run through manual or scheduled triggers. To preview or edit a draft, select the “Preview” button on the flow page panel under the flow name.
