CurrentVersion vs. Work In Progress

Question

Every month we run a comparative data set of last month's locked in numbers, "CurrentVersion" vs. this month's "Work In Progress" file. I need to re-run workflow "CV vs. WIP.yxwz" every time the file "Work In Progress.hyper" gets written in workflow "Step 3". We also frequently make changes and edit "Step 3.yxmd" so I don't need "CV vs. WIP.yxwz" to run if the output of Step 3 was off ( or more specifically if the new "Work In Progress.hyper" does not get posted to Tableau Cloud).  I am not the only person who runs Step 3, so I won't always know if there is a new version. At a minimum I need to know when there is a new version of WIP, and preferably, I would like CV vs. WIP to simply run itself when this event occurs. Bonus points if I can make it run outside business hours, in the background. (Workflows...corporate...private...can not share)

Let's start from the end, yes you should be able to run the workflow out of working hours. After saving the workflow to the gallery you can schedule it to run.
Now back to the first point. I can see that there is a direct connection to the 2 files, so if Step 3 was done by different users, each time the new output will overwrite the previous file. You can add email notification each time that Step 3 was run adding time stamp, in this way all users can know that there is a new version and when it was created.
