This is an FYI to all Gallery users...
The error "root level data is invalid. line 1 position 1" is usually associated with trying to OPEN a flow after Alteryx crashed...because the xml was truncated during an interrupted save most often. This was a first for me seeing it associated with a save.
The end result is that there is a glitch when you open/edit a prior version and then try to save.
Not sure if this is a new issue since 2019.2 or not but I had the occasion where I needed to edit a prior version of a workflow on the Gallery and save and publish that as new version. I hit a number of issues:
Good Luck
Solved! Go to Solution.
The original post is its own solution but there is at least one alternate solution as well.
That is to open the most recent version and the prior one you want to work with...select all in the most recent and then delete to get a blank canvas...then select all in the edited "good" version and copy paste to the blank one..then save. because you are saving the module source in the gallery as the most recent the save works.
Thanks for the posts on this, very helpful!
This answer is a little out of date. Zip files can be opened natively with the Input tool now:
@acowpy i think you posted on wrong thread. This has nothing to do with zip files
That is so strange.. seems like a message board bug as this thread (which I've never read before) has ID 686306 and the one where I posted this response (the response is there too) is 686305..
In any case there does not seem to be a delete option.
Sorry for confusing your feed and I hope you solved your issue!
