Workflow Editor

The workflow editor is where you build and manage workflows. It consists of several areas:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Header: name · status badge · Save · Execute · Ali │
├────────────────────────────────────┬────────────────┤
│                                    │                │
│          Canvas                    │    Toolbox     │
│   (nodes, connections, ports)      │  (drag nodes)  │
│                                    │                │
└────────────────────────────────────┴────────────────┘

Canvas​

The main editing surface. Nodes are placed here and connected with edges. See Canvas for navigation controls, zoom, and auto-arrange.

Toolbox​

A panel on the right side listing all available blocks, grouped into Triggers, Actions, and Custom (installed integrations). Drag any item onto the canvas to add it. See Toolbox.

Modes​

The editor has two modes, controlled by the URL path:

  • Draft mode — full editing; Save and Execute are active; the Toolbox is available
  • Read-only mode — triggered when viewing a published revision or history snapshot; a "Read-only view" banner is shown; property sheets open but cannot be saved

Property Sheet​

Clicking any node opens the Property Sheet — a side panel with three tabs:

  • Properties — the node's name and all configurable fields
  • Error Handling — per-node error behaviour (continue, error port, retry)
  • Information — the block ID, version, and node ID for reference

Changes in the property sheet are staged locally. They are applied to the workflow when you click Save changes inside the sheet, but not persisted to the server until you click Save in the header.
