Team,
We are updating one Alteryx workflow in a folder. The folder is shared by multiple colleagues. We are running the workflow and making updates at the same time. How is the best way to handle version control?
Thank you,
EW
Alteryx workflows are simply XML files, so one possible solution is to control them using a Git repository. Plain old Git doesn't require server software and works well in a distributed environment. Throw in a git GUI like SourceTree or GitKraken and managing the repository becomes quite easy.
Git itself is open source, so that should not be an issue. But I may not completely understand your requirements here...
There is no need to convert to yxmd. yxmd IS xml. Is there a particular reason you need a file with an XML extension? If you really need to, you can rename your workflow from MyWorkflow.xml to MyWorkflow.yxmd...
Could you perhaps explain exactly what you are doing a bit more? Are you generating copies of the workflow and saving them in a directory? I do not understand why you need this step of generating an XML file.
Thank you, @tlarsen7572 Do you recommend any tool to convert yxmd to xml? I used this tool:

However, I'm afraid it does not reflect the updated Alteryx version.
Thanks,
