Version History

Every time you publish a workflow, Kanri creates a numbered, permanent version (v1, v2, v3, etc.). Version history lets you see exactly what each version contained, when it was published, and which runs used it.

Viewing the version list

Section titled “Viewing the version list”
  1. Open any workflow in the editor.
  2. Click Versions in the toolbar.
  3. A list of all published versions appears, newest first.

Each entry shows:

  • The version number (v1, v2, v3…)
  • When it was published
  • Whether it’s the current active version

Viewing a specific version

Section titled “Viewing a specific version”

Click any version in the list to open it. The workflow canvas opens in read-only mode, showing exactly what trigger and steps that version contained.

This is useful for:

  • Auditing what the workflow was doing at a specific point in time.
  • Understanding why a run behaved a certain way (by checking which version it ran on).
  • Comparing the current setup to a previous configuration.

You cannot edit a past version. If you want to revert to an old configuration, you’d need to recreate those settings in a new draft and publish it.

How versioning protects in-progress runs

Section titled “How versioning protects in-progress runs”

When you publish a new version of a workflow, in-progress runs are not affected. Each run is pinned to the version that was active when the run started.

Example: A member is in the middle of a 3-day delay step in v2 of your “Renewal Reminder” workflow. You make changes and publish v3. The member’s run stays on v2 — it finishes with the v2 logic. New runs created after the publish use v3.

This means you can safely update a workflow at any time without disrupting members who are mid-run.

The current draft

Section titled “The current draft”

If you’re currently editing a workflow, you’ll see a Draft badge in the version list. The draft is not a published version — it’s a work in progress. It won’t appear in run history until it’s published.

Tracking which version ran

Section titled “Tracking which version ran”

In Run History, every run shows which version number it used. This makes it easy to understand any run’s behavior — you can click through to view that exact version on the canvas.
