Cannot Recover saved Alteryx workflow

himanshu_v_17

I Was working on a packaged workflow in Alteryx i continued making that workflow which i got from my friend but when i saved it it was not overwritten i am opening that file and it is opening from where i started  ( packaged workflow can't be overwritten is this true if yes the is there any way possible to get that saved workflow)

@himanshu_v_17 once you double click on a .yxzp file, it unzips the file. Once unzipped, it creates a folder structure. The folder structure contains your workflow and any assets (i.e. source files, macros -> located in Externals). 

Once you "Save" your workflow, this will be saved inside the unzipped folder. So to get back to it, go where the folder is unzipped (normally this is in the same directory as the .yxzp file) and navigate back to your workflow. 

The issue I think you may have is that you after you save your workflow you are double-clicking back on the .yxzp file? This is then unzipping the structure again and then overwriting the files. This will then revert any changes you've made on that workflow as the file will be replaced with the original unzipped version again. 

Let me know if this helps.

All the best,
