Workflow Versioning

Workflow Version Control System (W-VCS)

Kizuna introduces an enterprise-grade version control system tailored specifically for n8n workflows. While n8n provides local execution history, Kizuna offers true immutable snapshots of your workflow logic.

Why use W-VCS?

• Disaster Recovery: If you accidentally delete a node or break logic, restore a working version instantly.
• Migration Safety: Save a snapshot before migrating a workflow to a new server.
• Audit Trails: Keep a named history of changes (e.g., “v1.0 - Initial Release”, “v1.1 - Added Error Handling”).

How it Works

1. Saving a Version

In the Workflow Details view, click the “Save Version” button. You can provide a custom name and description for the snapshot.

• The entire JSON of the workflow is encrypted and stored in Kizuna’s database.
• Metadata (creator, timestamp, tags) is attached.

2. Browsing History

The “Versions” tab displays a timeline of all saved snapshots.

• View Code: Inspect the JSON of any version directly in the browser.
• Download: Export specific versions as .json files for local backup.

3. One-Click Restore

The Restore feature allows you to overwrite the live workflow on your n8n server with any saved version.

Caution

Restoring a version will immediately update the active workflow on the target n8n instance. This action is instantaneous.

GitHub Integration

For teams that prefer Git-based flows, Kizuna supports direct Push to GitHub.

1. Configure your GitHub Token in Settings.
2. Select a repository and branch.
3. Push workflow changes with a commit message directly from the Kizuna UI.
