Manage Workflow Asset

If I have checked assets (for e.g. Macro file) while saving a workflow to the server. Does it mean after workflow is published to the server and then I make any changes to the asset (Macro file). I will not need to re-publish my workflow to the Server?

Hi @ayush_mishra

When the box is checked:

The asset is packed and uploaded to the gallery with the workflow.
To change the macro, you must open the workflow from the gallery, make changes, and upload it again.

When the box is unchecked:

The workflow tries to access the asset/macro from its fullpath during each run.
This works if the server machine also can access the macro's path, especially for shared network folders.
You can update the macro directly in the shared folder, and workflows using it will automatically use the updated version.

Thanks @Felipe_Ribeir0 if I go with 2nd option (uncheck), will it cause workflow execution to slow down because it is going to call the asset during execution.

@ayush_mishra i usually go with this option, and i never noticed any considerable delay. It works fine if your network shared drive is working properly.
