Recipe version management

Every time a recipe is saved, a version of the recipe is created. Previous versions of a recipe can be restored at any time. Recipe versions can be viewed in the Versions tab and are denoted by their version number.

In the version history view, each version is attributed to the user who made the change (relevant for multi-user team accounts), with a timestamp when the version was saved, as well as the change type associated with that version.

Change Types

There are two types of changes:

• Recipe changes
• Schema changes

Recipe Changes

A Recipe change is logged when a user actively changes the recipe. For example, adding, or removing steps and changing field mappings, will create a new version of the recipe when the recipe is saved.

Schema Changes

A Schema change is logged when Workato detects that the underlying schema of objects in the recipe have changed. For example, when a Salesforce custom object has a new field added.

Such schema refreshes will automatically create a new version of the recipe.

Comparing And Reviewing Changes

Using the Recipe Diff feature, you can visually compare two recipe versions and review the changes. Check out the Recipe Diff guide for more info.
