Introducing Versioning in doFlo: Your Workflow Safety Net 🧩
In the fast‑moving world of workflow automation, agility and reliability go hand in hand. At doFlo, our mission has always been to help teams “Be More Human” by freeing them from repetitive tasks - not tying them down to tool‑maintenance. That’s why I’m excited to announce a major new feature: native versioning for workflows.
Why versioning matters
In software development, version control is a must. But workflow automation teams often operate without the same safeguards - until now.
With versioning in doFlo you can:
✅ Keep a history of every change you make to a workflow.
✅ Experiment safely, knowing you won’t inadvertently break a live process.
✅ Rollback instantly if something doesn’t work out.
✅ Collaborate seamlessly, with built‑in version snapshots instead of relying on external Git or manual exports.
In short: you can iterate faster, deploy with more confidence, and scale your automation with peace of mind.
How versioning works in doFlo
Here’s how it works in practice:
Within a workflow, select “Version History”.
Click “Save version” to create a snapshot.
Give it a name and a description (e.g., “v1.0 – Initial release”, “API refactor – remove webhook”).
When you’re ready, you can restore any snapshot with one click - back to past states, instantly.
No external tool required. Everything is handled directly within the doFlo platform - simplifying your stack and reducing context‑switching.
Best practices for workflow versioning
To get the most out of versioning, we recommend adopting a few conventions:
Tag major releases in the version name, e.g.
v1.0,v2.0.Write meaningful descriptions for each snapshot, e.g. “Pre‑demo stable”, “API refactor – remove webhook”.
Save a version before you make big changes - especially before shipping to production.
Use predicates for rollbacks: If a change fails, simply restore to the previous snapshot and investigate safely.
Document the context: Even though the snapshot captures state, note down why the change was made (who requested it, what bug/feature it addresses) - this makes audit and hand‑over easier.
What this means for your team
For team leads, operations managers and automation champions within real‑estate, surveying, finance or any process‑heavy industry: versioning is a game‑changer.
Less risk in production: If something goes wrong, revert, fix, and re‑deploy - no downtime‑panic.
Higher autonomy: Developers, analysts and citizen‑automators can experiment freely, knowing they’re covered by snapshot safety nets.
Better change management: Rolling back and auditing changes is built‑in. For audit‑heavy industries (like surveying) this is crucial.
Faster innovation: With less fear of breaking things, you can prototype faster, iterate boldly, and deliver higher value.
Final thoughts
Versioning is more than just a feature - it’s a reflection of our “Be More Human” philosophy. It says that workflows should serve us, not enslave us. That automation should enhance our decisions, not trap us in brittle processes. And that behind every workflow is a person - innovator, collaborator, problem‑solver - who deserves tools as flexible and resilient as they are.
We built this for you. Take it for a spin, and tell us what you think.
Happy automating!
